Main Story
Pastor James Ng’ang’a, founder of Neno Evangelism Centre, did not hold back during a recent sermon. Addressing what he called a rise in “political entitlement,” the preacher told leaders to stop inciting the public and acting as though Kenya belongs only to them.
“Wachochezi muache uchochezi,” he said. “Mkipata ofisi huwa mnaona ni kama nyinyi ndo mumefungua government. Ukipata ofisi usichukue kama Kenya ni yako pekee yako.”
(Translation: “Inciters, stop inciting. When you get into office, you behave as if you founded the government. Don’t act like Kenya belongs only to you.”)
Ng’ang’a’s comments appeared to call out leaders who rise to power and then sideline the same citizens who voted them in. He challenged them to serve all Kenyans equally—regardless of tribe, class, or voting history—and to use their positions with humility and responsibility.
The remarks come at a time when citizens are increasingly vocal about perceived government arrogance, excessive taxation, and exclusionary politics. Pastor Ng’ang’a, never one to shy away from controversy, has built a reputation for calling out leaders—often using scripture and street wisdom in the same breath.
In Pastor Ng’ang’a’s world, power without humility is a curse—and Kenya, he reminds us, belongs to all its people, not just those in office.
