Pastor Ng'ang'a distances himself from grandson's medical appeal

Controversial televangelist Pastor Ng'ang'a has made it clear that he should not be associated with his grandson Jonathan Wise's ongoing medical appeal.

Jonathan, battling a severe case of B-ALL Leukemia, is the son of Naomi Wangari Maina, Ng'ang'a's eldest daughter, who recently reached out to the public for financial support amounting to Sh4.5 million for the treatment.

Jonathan's health struggles began with a diagnosis of Bilateral Retinoblastoma, a rare eye cancer, two weeks after his birth on January 20, 2018.

The condition advanced significantly in one eye, leading to an urgent inoculation procedure at just six weeks old.

Over the next three years, chemotherapy became a regular part of Jonathan's life, necessitating frequent visits to the operating theatre every three week

In the recent plea, Naomi sought financial aid to cover the substantial medical expenses required for her son's ongoing treatment.

In 2020, the family successfully organised a fundraiser in 2020, generating enough funds to facilitate Jonathan's treatment in India.

Unfortunately, the young boy has yet to fully recover. Naomi, born during Ng'ang'a's earlier years as a herdsman in Kinangop, shares a close relationship with her father since they first met in 2007.
