At this crucial point in the continuing drama of Neno Evangelism Fellowship’s land ownership, Pastor Ng’ang’a is coming under increasing scrutiny.
After it was revealed that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) had begun looking into the disputed land, members of parliament issued a harsh ultimatum, requiring Pastor Ng’ang’a to provide proof of ownership for the Neno Evangelism Center within fourteen days.
According to an article in Friday’s issue of The Standard, the parliamentary directive, which puts Pastor Ng’ang’a under tremendous pressure to present unquestionable proof of the church’s claim to the disputed territory, highlights how urgent the situation is.
The approaching deadline raises concerns about the validity of Neno Evangelism Center’s occupancy of the disputed land and casts a pall over the organization’s future.
Pastor Ng’ang’a fiercely defended the ownership of the property his church is built on during his appearance before the National Assembly committee, claiming that it was obtained in a legal transaction with the Central Bank of Kenya in 2004.
But in light of growing accusations of land grabs and anomalies in the acquisition process, his claims are viewed with mistrust.
The story is made even more complex by the backdrop of President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza government’s war on encroachment on public land.

Pastor Ng’ang’a’s situation mirrors a larger trend of accountability and openness in governance, with more scrutiny on land ownership concerns and a renewed effort to retrieve unjustly acquired assets.
All eyes are on Pastor Ng’ang’a and Neno Evangelism Fellowship as the deadline approaches, eagerly anticipating their response to the parliamentary mandate.
