On August 28, 2019, a group of male congregants from Neno Evangelism Church sent a demand letter to Pastor James Ng'ang'a through Otieno & Amisi Advocates.

The congregants accused the televangelist of using derogatory language to describe their sexual organs, claiming he referred to them as 'kakitu' and 'tuvitu', Swahili words for small items.

They also alleged that Pastor Ng'ang'a used obscene and insulting language by referring to them as 'ng'ombe wewe' and 'ng'ombe hizi', which are Swahili words for a foolish person.

The congregants threatened to sue Pastor Ng'ang'a for defamation if he fails to issue a formal apology within two days.

They demanded that Pastor Ng'ang'a publish an unequivocal apology in a local newspaper of nationwide circulation.
