Saturday, March 16, 2024 – Rogue Pastor James Ng'an'ga has expressed his willingness to sell the controversial parcel of land housing his Neno Evangelism Centre church to the government for a whopping Ksh.200 billion.
Speaking after appearing before the House's Departmental
Committee on Lands, Ng'ang'a reiterated that the contentious piece of land
belongs to him while at the same time accusing the government of trying to
'snatch' it away from him.
"Wanapiga kanisa lakini sio hii watapiga. Hii ilienda
kwa sababu niko na rights zote. Ksh.42 million that is a lot of money...
tukalipa, " he said in reference of the sum of money he claims to have
bought the land for.
"Nimeleta makaratasi yangu na kama mnataka nyinyi kama
government, njoo mniambie niwauzie...nataka 200 billion...muichukue kwa njia ya
kuongea."
The land, located at the intersection of Haile Selassie
Avenue and Uhuru Highway, is part of several parcels being probed by the
Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on claims that they belong to the
Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC).
When he appeared before the Lands Committee,
Ng'ang'a narrated how he acquired the land after it was put up for sale by
the government itself in 2004.
Shortly afterward, Ng'ang'a stated, the land was put back
on sale, which forced him to re-apply and now purchase the land for Ksh.42
million.
Troubles over the parcel's ownership would haunt him years
later as he said he received a letter from Kenya Railways Corporation in 2020
notifying him that they wanted to reclaim the land.
