Televangelist pastor James Ng'ang'a announced the sale of his Ksh800 million hotel, Newstead Hotel located along Nakuru-Nairobi road.
In an interview with Nation, the renowned pastor explained that he was selling the hotel to get money to build a church in the United States.
"The hotel is an ideal location for outings, family reunions, and business conferences, with facilities including a large open-air playground, a high-quality swimming pool, and ample parking," the Neno-Evangelism founder emphasised.
He noted that the quotation was however open for negotiations as he sought Ksh600 million to purchase a piece of land in the US.
The hotel which opened its doors in 2016 has a variety of amenities including a gym, spa, and swimming area among others. It has over 40 spacious rooms and 3 conference halls that can accommodate up to 300 people at a time.
Meanwhile, each room features an en-suite bathroom, comfortable beds, a work desk, a flat-screen TV, and complimentary Wi-Fi access.
The hotel located about 10 kilometres from Naivasha Town offers executive, deluxe single, basic double, and basic single rooms.
The reception area is decorated with antique African artifacts including elephant paintings and cheetah print seats.
Some of the activities around Naivasha for guests at the hotel include visiting Hell's Gate, Lake Nakuru, Crescent Island, Malewa Wildlife Lodge, Mt Longonot, etc.
In January 2023, the pastor unveiled a state-of-the-art church bus amenities such as a washroom and television set.
While presenting it to his congregation, the televangelist noted that it would replace the outdated vehicle bought in 2001.
"This bus bought by your contribution will carry you to and from crusades among other church activities," he stated.
