Male congregants at Neno Evangelism Ministries have threatened to initiate criminal proceeding against controversial televangelist James Ng’ang’a over insults they claim targeted them.
In a letter through Otieno and Amisi Advocates, the men have demanded for Ng’ang’a to withdraws the said threats and insults issued against them within two days or they will sue him for defamation.
They claim the man of cloth threatened to interfere with the ‘normal functioning’ of their ‘male organs’ and demand the public apology be published in one of the national daily newspapers.
In the letter seen by Kenya Insights, the members of Ng’ang’a’s ministries claim the televangelist publicly and without provocation used threatening and abusive words against them. “You (Pastor ng’ang’a) used threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to provoke a breach of the peace or whereby a breach of the peace would have been occasioned and more particularly by using signs and language demeaning and/or derogatory of our clients’ sexual organs” The letter reads
The members further stated Ng’ang’a used derogative terms that equated them to fools and threatened to disable their abilities to engage in sexual intercourse by using undisclosed means and powers in front of a congregation ” …your actions
aforesaid have lowered our clients’ image in the eyes of right-thinking members of society by painting them as fraidy-cat cowards who are not only dimwitted and brainless but also a contemptibly imbecilic bunch of morons and persons with vulnerable and smaller-than-usual male organs which may be disabled by the flick of a finger.”
The men further warned should the Bishop fail to comply within the two days and issue an unequivocal apology in one of the daily newspapers of nationwide circulation, they would have no other option other than to commence private criminal prosecution against him under sections 95, 96 and 97 o the Penal Code and/or civil proceedings for general damages
for defamation.
The male members of the Neno Evangelical Ministries have insisted they will still need damages covered for even after the apology has been issued.
This letter comes just hours after Ng’ang’a begged journalist Linus Kaikai to forgive him after he had issued death threats to the journalist.
