Controversial pastor James Ng’ang’a has once again drawn criticism after making disturbingly inappropriate remarks during a recent Sunday service.

Preaching at the Neno Evangelism Centre, he faced backlash from many Kenyans for mocking women who, in his view, focus too much on beauty trends yet remain unattractive.

In an unusual moment of silence from the congregation, Ng’ang’a targeted women who use cosmetics to enhance their appearance.

He shockingly insinuated that despite their efforts, they were still unattractive and wouldn’t even be “worth sexually assaulted.”

“You take too much time beautifying yourself and then spend an entire day and no one even bothers to approach you. Women are getting assaulted and you couldn’t even get someone who could assault you,” said Ng’ang’a.

Ng’ang’a continued his mockery by suggesting that it would be more reasonable if these women experienced a sexual assault, as evidence of their attractiveness.

“It would be better if you would be assaulted. But no one is doing that to you,” he added.

He further belittled them for investing time in their appearance, implying that the issue lay deeper than just physical looks.

The congregation, typically vocal during his services, appeared stunned and speechless at his comments.

An undated video of his remarks circulated online, prompting outrage among users on X, with many condemning his choice of words and calling for his arrest for trivializing a serious issue like sexual assault.

One user expressed, “This is not just inappropriate! It’s deeply disturbing! Sexual assault is not something to joke about! As a victim myself, I shudder when I come across such language. This is highly triggering.”

“This is so disgusting! I initially thought this was AI because surely he couldn’t have said this,” another user wrote.

Others lamented the reality of his behavior and the passive acceptance from his female congregants, who constitute a significant portion of his audience.
