Controversial televangelist Pastor Ng’ang’a has publicly distanced himself from the ongoing medical appeal for the leukemia treatment of his grandson, Jonathan Wise.

Jonathan, the 6-year-old son of Ng’ang’a’s eldest daughter Naomi Wangari Maina, is currently battling a severe case of B-ALL Leukemia. Naomi, who shares her father's calling as a singer and evangelist, recently appealed to the public for Sh4.5 million to help cover Jonathan’s medical expenses.

However, Ng’ang’a has made it clear that he should not be linked to the appeal. While acknowledging Jonathan’s struggles, he stated, “I have my reservations regarding it.”


This development follows Maina's sharing of a video documenting Jonathan's health journey. Born in January 2018, Jonathan faced a rare eye cancer diagnosis, Bilateral Retinoblastoma, just two weeks after birth. The cancer rapidly progressed in one eye, necessitating urgent treatment at only six weeks old.

Over the next three years, Jonathan's life centered around chemotherapy and frequent surgical procedures every three weeks. Despite the challenges, he courageously faced his health struggles, undergoing treatment in both Kenya and India.
