Pastor James Maina Ng’ang’a, the organization’s founder, has expressed his displeasure with males who enter “come we stay” marriages without adhering to the norm of paying dowry.
Ng’ang’a lectured about the results of such couplings in a video shared by SASA TV on TikTok, highlighting the fact that they frequently leave children with difficulties.
“Mnazaa tu vituko. Hamtaki kutoa mahari ya huyo msichana. You don’t like to give dowry na mnakuja kusema Bwana asifiwe”
He went on to call the residents of the union “deceivers” whose actions are akin to empty sacks.
Ng’ang’a noted that according to his research, come-we-stay marriages typically include a lady quitting school and joining a man who has left his family, giving birth to off-track offspring.
The preacher, who isn’t afraid to call people out when they do something wrong, claimed that the outcome was caused by a lack of basic religious observance, pointing out that the parents don’t attend church services.
Ng’ang’a took his argument all the way to the Bible, using Jacob as an example, who toiled diligently for fourteen years in order to wed his wives Leah and Rachel.
“Nowhere did Jacob take Laban’s children for nothing. He worked for fourteen years. And it is Jacob, leave you Kamau and Onyango,”
In his final statement, he declared that he would never consent to suffer the same destiny as sinners.
