Popular Kenyan televangelist James Ng’ang’a has been charged with threatening a TV journalist and incitement to violence.
The pastor denied the charges.
Mr Ng’ang’a was charged with threatening Linus Kaikai who works for the Royal Media Services which owns Citizen TV – one of the leading television stations in Kenya.
In a TV programme, the journalist had criticised religious leaders who exploit their followers.
Following this, a video was posted on social media of Mr Ng’ang’a which, the prosecution argued, implied that death would be desirable.
