Pastor Ng’ang’a Urges Government to Arrest Youths Making Fun of Samia Suluhu: “Peleka Kamiti”

• Neno Evangelism founder, Pastor James Ng’ang’a, recently travelled to the US with his gorgeous wife
• The preacher has weighed in on the Tanzania vs Kenya online war, siding with President Samia Suluhu
• Ng'ang’a urged the government to arrest Kenyans responsible for making the distasteful images of Suluhu

Pastor James Ng'ang'a has urged the Kenyan government to intervene over the AI-generated images of Tanzanian president Samia Suluhu.

Ng'ang'a weighed in on the viral Kenya vs Tanzania online spat, siding with the Tanzanian president.

The controversial preacher said that Kenyan youths had gone rogue with AI-generated images and videos.

The Neno Evangelism founder rebuked the Kenyan youths who generated the images, stating that it is an insult to the first female president in Africa.

"We have gone to Tanzania, you have taken the first woman to become president, the first lady in Africa to become a president, and you place her in a coffin. You have made dogs speak, purporting them to be Tanzanian politicians," he shared.

Ng'ang'a urged the Kenyan government to intervene and arrest the culprits behind the images.

He urged the DCI to discipline some of the youths and even imprison them for two years.

"The government of Kenya, please wake up and try to shut this thing. DCI, please catch some people and give them some discipline. Take them to Kamiti for two years," he said.

What happened between Kenya and Tanzania

The online spat between Tanzania and Kenya intensified when some Tanzanian officials arrested and deported Kenyan activists.

The activists included Boniface Mwangi and Martha Karua, who had travelled to Tanzania to attend opposition leader Tundu Lissu’s trial.

Before being kicked away, the campaigners allegedly were kept incommunicado for days, which infuriated Kenyans, who accused Tanzania of violating their human rights.

Legislators from Tanzania responded by berating Kenyans, labelling them "mentally slow," and accusing them of interfering in Tanzanian affairs.

This resulted in online backlash when Kenyans bombarded Tanzanian MPs' phones with messages and even considered boycotting Bongo music as payback.

Did Ruto apologise to Tanzania?

President William Ruto shared his heartfelt apologies to the Tanzanian president after nearly two weeks of online exchanges between the two countries.

Ruto asked for forgiveness and a mutual understanding between the two countries during the National Prayer Breakfast.

He asked regional partners to focus on progress and rebuilding relationships and shy away from past missteps.

The head of state's message showed commitment to regional stability.

Why did opposition reject Ruto's apology?

In other news, Kenya's opposition parties, however, issued a scathing response to his public apology.

They slammed the president for failing to defend Karua and Mwangi following their controversial deportation.

They also demanded justice for victims of state violence and asked for the immediate withdrawal of laws targeting online freedoms.

The statement was signed by six parties: People’s Liberation Party, Jubilee, Wiper, KANU, DAPK, and DP.

They released a statement immediately after the president's remarks.
