Prophet Owuor, Pastor Kanyari, Pastor Ng’ang’a And Their Colleagues Ferociously Attacked…

Nairobi pastors are making news like never before. And not really just Nairobi pastors but almost every man of God around is courting controversy in one way or the other.

Funny enough, even when the congregants have been told and shown what their ‘spiritual’ daddies are doing, they flock their churches to tithe as they enrich them.

This is the reason why Larry Madowo has spared a whole page of a daily to rant at the preachers.

Larry’s piece comes weeks after Pastor James Ng’ang’s of Neno Evangelism Church allegedly killed a woman along the Nakuru-Nairobi highway through reckless driving. The pastor has since denied the allegations and threatened to sue whoever implicating him.

In his Daily Nation column, Larry has blasted the pastors for enriching themselves in the name of declaring the gospel of Christ as their myopic congregants dish out money in the name of sadakas and tithes to the pastors.

“Nairobi’s superstar preachers have such storied lives they’re only missing one key ingredient of true self-actualisation — a reality show. Someone needs to rip off Preachers of LA and do a Real Pastors of Nairobi, because they have truly earned it. They go by such lofty titles as prophets, apostles or evangelists, live on the fast lane and use the Bible as a source of fame and fortune, never as a guidebook,” Larry writes.
 
Larry mentions Kanyari and Pastor Ng’ang’a in his piece. He wondered how worshippers still believed in these men of cloth even after the scandals that hit them.

Kanyari was exposed in an investigative piece on how he swindled money from myopic congregants in the name of performing miracles for them. He would fake miracles to lie to the followers. Still, his church is always full to the brim.

“Christianity is the fastest growing line of business in Kenya; the savvy entrepreneurs being the preachers of questionable theological standing holding court in tents, parking lots and rented backstreet halls.”
