Controversial televangelist Gilbert Deya has come out to defend Neno Evangelism's Bishop James Maina Ng’ang’a over his rant in a video that went viral weeks ago.
In the video, Apostle Ng’ang’a warned Bishops who he claimed are disrespecting his wife.
“If you are not going to respect my wife I will kick you out of my ministry even if who you are. This time round I will show you my power..If you don’t respect her, leave my church and go start your own. You have become rich in my church. Stupid, arrogant (sic), useless people, ‘takataka’, rubbish. There is nothing you can tell me,” the controversial Preacher says in the video continues to elicit debate among Kenyans.
However, Bishop Deya has defended Ng’ang’a hitting out at Neno Evangelism Bishops for allegedly getting entangled with the pastor's wife.
In an interview with the Standard Digital, Bishop Deya referred to Pastor Ng’ang’a as his son.
“Pastor Ng’ang’a is a man of God. He made no mistake at all because they are picking on his wife. Calling them ‘takataka’ was not an abuse since he brought them in his ministry,” Deya observed.
Bishop Deya claims that he assisted Pastor Ng’ang’a to set up his Neno Evangelism church and also helped him get TV airtime.
“In fact, Ng’ang’a passed through my hands, I even paid for him airtime worth Sh240, 000 on Kenya Broadcasting Corporation,” he adds.
Bishop Deya further claims that he took Pastor Ng’ang’a to Nigeria and the United Kingdom (UK) when he didn’t even know English. The viral video continues to elicit reactions among Kenyans.
Pastor Nga’ng’a is not new to controversy and has several times found himself in trouble.
The Neno Evangelism preacher is battling several cases in court and has often accused his critics of plotting to bring his ministry down.
