Published on December 16, 2019, an elderly woman named Susan Ngina Kanyali has accused Pastor James Maina Ng'ang'a of Neno Evangelism of grabbing a parcel of land.
Ngina claims that the area where Pastor Ng'ang'a's Neno Evangelism Centre Bulbul branch in Ngong is built is part of her land. In January 2016, Ngina wrote to Kajiado County Lands Board in pursuit of justice after the National Lands Commission (NLC) declared she was the rightful owner of the property.
The National Lands Commission had declared Ngina the rightful owner of the property in January 2016, but the church allegedly ignored a subsequent order from the Kajiado County Lands Board to stop construction activities on the land.
Ngina blames her woes on her neighbor Joseph Murithi Mborothi, who chairs the County Lands Board, and area Chief Mohammed Dida. She claims that Chief Mohammed Dida mocked her, saying she would never win the battle over the land because she is a poor woman.
However, Chief Mohammed Dida denied the claims, stating that the matter is already before a court.
Ngina also accuses Pastor Ng'ang'a's church of directing the drainage system towards her iron-sheet home, making it prone to flooding during the rainy season. She expressed fears for her life, claiming that strange people have been visiting her home.
