Pastor Ng'ang'a's Powerful Plea to Kenyans About The Police

Pastor James Ng’ang’a has appealed to Kenyans to remain peaceful and avoid confrontations with the police, warning that increasing hostility between civilians and law enforcement could lead to further unrest.

In a recent sermon, the outspoken preacher called for restraint and unity, while condemning inflammatory rhetoric from some political leaders.

He reminded his congregation that the police play a vital role in society, stating, “When you’re robbed or assaulted, it’s the police you turn to. They’re there to help all of us.”

Acknowledging public frustration with security agencies, Ng’ang’a urged citizens not to respond with violence, arguing that such actions would only deepen divisions and provoke more harm.

He described police officers as public servants under pressure and called on Kenyans to pray for them during these tense times.

The clergyman also criticised Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport, Kipchumba Murkomen, for recent remarks encouraging police to use firearms in self-defence.

Ng’ang’a warned that such statements, when made by high-ranking officials, risk being misinterpreted and fuelling bloodshed.

“Pray for the police. These are difficult times,” he pleaded. “Some people are out here saying ‘kill them.’ But remember, if someone kills, they won’t flee to your mother’s house. Once their job is done, they’ll go back to their lives. Stop the incitement.”

Turning his attention to Kenya’s political elite, Pastor Ng’ang’a chastised leaders for allowing power to cloud their judgement.

In a firm yet measured tone, he urged humility, noting that leadership is both a privilege and a temporary responsibility.

“You’ve only just entered office, and already you’re acting like you founded the government,” he said. “Kenya belonged to Moi, to Kenyatta — it keeps moving. Don’t behave as if it’s yours alone.”
