Pastor Ng’ang’a’s SASA TV has been threatened with legal action by the Media Council of Kenya (MCK) for violating the rule of conduct in the practice of journalism.
MCK claims in a news release that the televangelist used inappropriate language during a live TV program on October 9, 2021, which was a violation of the body’s rule of conduct on obscenity, taste, and reporting tone.
“The Council notes that the media house in question breached clauses 5 (b) (c) on Accountability and 10 (1) on Obscenity, Taste and Tone in Reporting by allowing a presenter, Apostle James Maina Ng’ang’a in a live broadcast from ‘Jerusalem City Kenya’ at 1024 hours where he uttered offensive and unprintable words on air,” reads parts of the memo by MCK CEO David Omwoyo.

“The Media Council of Kenya will take action against Sasa TV, after completion of due processes for breach of Code of Conduct for the Practice of journalism in Kenya,” he added Omwoyo.
