Victor Kigen Komen, a graduate from Jomo Kenyatta University of Science and Technology (JKUAT) list Bishop Ng'ang'a and Pastor Pius Muiru as two "spiritual conmen".

This comes few days after Ng'ang'a was arraigned in court for threatening TV personality Linus Kaikai. 

Kaikai had earlier accused Kenyan preachers of how they were making a kill from poor Kenyans.

Kigen in his testimony shared on the famous Kilimani Mums Facebook page, revealed that after suffering more than enough in the hands of Pastor Pius Muiru, he was convinced to join Pastor James Ng'ang'a's Nairobi's Neno Evangelism Church where he expected his blessing doors to open.

However, Nga'ng'a was not any better from what he had had. 

He said the man of the collar would only take about 15 minutes preaching about healing and prosperity before urging followers to reach their pockets for a specific amount, mostly Sh500.

"Pastor Nganga could hardly preach the 2 cent theory but will mince your pocket after every 15 minutes. He preaches about healing and prosperity then says someone to give burnt offering of 500 only nothing short of that.....while he sings his famous song ''Dear lord my father....Duniani kuna mateso...'' My friend three quarter walk to drop their 500 note as i sit there thinking on what would happen to my only fare and budget for food... I swallow hot saliva and do as instructed, he said.

​

His revelation has elicited the following reactions from Kenyans:

Orang'i Paul said: "I only worship God in my house nothing like those self proclaimed prophets ... Offerings nitanunua matunda tuende tukule na mayatima pale kwa orphanage.":

Rosemary Kihiu said: "Biashara churches....real."

Man Sando said: "Very true indeed.Thank you very much.mwenye masikio na asikie."
