Pastor James Ng'ang'a of Neno Evangelism Ministry has been released on a Sh500, 000 cash bail or Sh1 million bond with a surety of a similar amount.

Senior Magistrate Timothy ole Tanchu noted that the prosecution did not give compelling reasons why the suspects shouldn't be released.

His three co-accused have also been set free on a Sh50,000 cash bail each.

The controversial ‘Man of God’ appeared in court today for the ruling on his bail application.

The ruling was delivered a day after he was arraigned at the Limuru court over a fatal accident he is accused of causing.

Ng’ang’a denied all the four charges against him, with the court ordering him and his co-accused sent back to police cells ahead of their bail determination.

Kenya Police Airwing Inspector Christopher Nzioka and officer Patrick Baya are charged with covering up the evidence that implicated Ng'ang'a and neglecting their official duty.

They are also facing additional charges of giving false information.

Simon Kuria, the man who presented himself as the driver at the time of the accident, is charged for conspiring against justice.

Meanwhile, police continue with investigations into an incident where armed suspects raided the pastor’s home in Karen, and made away with Ksh500, 000 and valuables of an unknown value.
