Kenya: urgent attention needed on the attached letter

From: Bishop Dr. Washington Ogonyo Ngede

URGENT ATTENTION!
MR. TOM OSCAR ALWAKHA,
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY CITIZEN,
P.O BOX 7693 – 00200,
MOI AVENUE – ACCRA ROAD.
NAIROBI.
STORY ON PAGE 12 OF NOVEMBER 4, 2013 AND PAGE 14 OF NOVEMBER 11, 2013 ON WEEKLY CITIZEN

I Bishop Dr. Washington Ogonyo Ngede the Head of Power of Jesus Around the World Church do categorically states that I am surprised and dismayed by the article with the headline “Strange Sms lands Kisumu Pastor in Court”. As the head of the Power of Jesus Around the World Church, I strongly refute the Story which is very much untrue, malicious and damaging to the Church which is aforementioned in the story falsely. Our Church has no Pastor with the said name Erick Osewe alias Domnic Oloo and none of our Pastors have been arraigned in Court of Law as falsely stated in your story. I therefore demand to know where your news paper got this untrue story touching on me, my family and the Church which has defamed me together with the Church and fraternity.

Your Citizen Reporters also put a false Statement on November 11, 2013 that Church Members gang up against me that I am not sincere by forcing them to raise money for purchasing for me a vehicle, that matter was an unanimous decision for the whole Church to buy for me a vehicle. Neither did our Church Board of Administration nor the Committee Chairman and the Members complained, and they are still raising money upto this moment for paying the balance. You mentioned in your Citizen edition that Voice of Salvation and Healing Church under Archbishop Dr. Silas Owiti gave Kshs. 500,000, that is not true. During the fundraising August 18, 2013, Bishop Dr. Winnie Owiti gave Kshs. 10,000 only.

I have done a lot to our Community and Kenya since 1994 upto date, I have never taken money from anybody by false pretense. My record is clear and I fail to understand why your Reporters decided to destroy my name which I have build for years Domestically and Internationally.

Finally, I demand an apology to be carried out in the front page of the your news paper within a period of Seven days from the day and date of receiving this letter failure to which , the Church will institute legal action against the news paper ( Weekly Citizen). I also demand an acknowledgement letter from you assuring me that they have agreed to carry out the apology over this story which has so far cost serious embarrassment to me, my family, friends and the Church Community. Finally I am interested in the following, please state why I should not file the following claims against you: –

1. Criminal libel

2. General damage for defamation of both myself and the Church fraternity

3. The report was widely read locally and all over the Universe, therefore kindly furnish me with the audited figures of your news paper circulation per week. As audited by Competent and reputable firm of registered auditors.

4. Could you kindly give me the name of your Reporter who authored the Articles? Thank you.

Yours Sincerely, CC: MEDIA COUNCIL OF KENYA
Bishop Dr. Washington Ogonyo Ngede, H.S.C.
INTERNATIONAL CHAIRMAN: POWER OF JESUS AROUND THE WORLD CHURCH
CHAIRMAN: NYANZA COUNCIL OF CHURCHES LEADERS.

    Ogonyo,
    You are an idle old man who likes walking to people’s offices seeking for handouts and spoiling the names of other church leaders,you have no respect for your age.
    you fought the late Bishop Orao until he died, you have fought Bishop Owiti all along until now he is almost dying.
    Raila has sent you away twice at his gate when you arrive there as early as five in the morning to give him propaganda………
    You are a devil Ogonyo…

  3. BARACK G B O OMBOGO

    I support Bishop Dr. Washington Ogonyo Ngede as a True Christian and a Holy Man.

    I do not know how many people read the Citizen Weekly. I sometime read it and I wonder how many people are agrieved by their reporting.

    This is the first time that I have read a rejoinder againbst Citizen Weekly

    To Bishop Dr. Ogonyo Ngede, circulate your concerns to other Daily News Papers where many people read news to expose this News Paper of what it is.

    Generally propagasting character assersinaton to many people who do not read the Paper and cannot hit back.

  4. Wambui Kamau

    Congrats to Bishop Dr. Ogonyo Ngede, Citizen Weekly Editors and Publishers are full of shit and want the enjoy most is to smear dirt on people. Ahhh Shame on you Citizen Weekly

  5. Oketch Onyango

    I Rev. Jared Oketch Onyango of Revival for the World Crusade Church in Kisumu City I was dismayed and surprised by the comment written on the 24th November, 201 on Jaluo.com about Bishop Dr. Washington Ogonyo Ngede.
    Bishop Dr. Washington Ogonyo Ngede is a respected and reputable Servant of God. He is my Spiritual Father and a Leader in Kisumu City, Kenya and beyond. He has served God diligently in a righteous life and has united all communities in Kenya.
    Those who assassinated his character are being used by the devil and that is tantamount to devil worshipping.
    I regret and remorseful for that information. May God forgive them.

  6. John Omollo

    Bishop Dr. Washington is a respected man of God in our Community and Republic of Kenya. I strongly oppose the false allegations made against him in Weekly Citizen that assassinated his character. We as Church Leaders in Nyanza we are not a party to those propagating against him. The Bible says do not touch the anointed one.

  7. Washington Okwiri Sienya

    I strongly support our Father in the Faith, all those malicious, unfounded allegations are devilish. He is a righteous man who serves God with his possessions; he is a Father to the Fatherless and a supporter to upcoming men of God. He is a refuge to the wondering and a shelter to the rain on. He is worthy of his dignity and respect and he is a man of integrity. Thanks to the Power of Jesus Around the World Church Community for purchasing the vehicle for their beloved Bishop. I thank God for that. Let God forgive those who spread malicious ramous and false allegations against him. Bravo to the Bishop and God bless you and continue.

    The people who are vomitting loyalty to the said Bishop are just his bunch of hirelings,the truth is known about the said Bishop,
    Ogonyo is a liar and continues to lie about God.
    Why did he say that Bishop Sila had a concubine?
    Ogonyo, repent, repent and repent
