Dismissed Mamlaka Hill Chapel Bishop Charles Ng’ang’a is embroiled in fresh controversy, with allegations linking him to a 28-year-old woman identified as Monica. According to sources, Ng’ang’a had a long-term relationship with Monica, who served as his masseuse. He allegedly sponsored her education and later employed her at the church kitchen, promoting her to receptionist to conceal their relationship.

The new allegations surface as Ng’ang’a seeks Sh21 million in damages from Mamlaka Hill Chapel for what he claims is improper dismissal and revocation of his ordination. The case is pending determination at the Employment and Labour Relations Court in Milimani. Ng’ang’a’s lawyer has argued that the bishop’s termination was unfair and without due process.

This is not Ng’ang’a’s first public controversy. Earlier this year, he faced backlash over disputed allegations of sending romantic texts to his former personal assistant, a married woman. Her husband brought the matter to the elders’ court in a bid to save his marriage. The allegations led to Ng’ang’a’s dismissal from his position as bishop of Mamlaka Hill Chapel.

The church reportedly paid Ng’ang’a a Sh1.2 million salary before his dismissal. His removal has sparked a heated debate among church members and the wider public, with some questioning the church’s handling of the situation. Ng’ang’a’s actions have been described as “eating his own flock” by critics.

As the allegations against Ng’ang’a continue to mount, his reputation as a spiritual leader has taken a hit. The bishop’s actions have raised concerns about accountability and the protection of vulnerable individuals within the church. An investigation into the allegations is ongoing, with authorities working to establish the veracity of the claims.

The Mamlaka Hill Chapel has yet to comment on the fresh allegations against Ng’ang’a. The church has previously stated that it takes allegations of misconduct seriously and is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of its members. The outcome of Ng’ang’a’s court case and the investigation into the allegations remains to be seen.

The controversy surrounding Ng’ang’a serves as a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability within religious institutions. The case highlights the need for churches to have robust mechanisms in place for handling allegations of misconduct and ensuring that perpetrators are held accountable.
