Neno Evangelism minister, Pastor James Maina Ng'ang'a, has expressed strong disapproval towards men who engage in 'come we stay' marriages without fulfilling the cultural practice of paying dowry.
In a video shared by SASA TV on TikTok, Ng'ang'a preached about the consequences of such unions, highlighting that they often result in children who face challenges.
"Mnazaa tu vituko. Hamtaki kutoa mahari ya huyo msichana. You don't like to give dowry na mnakuja kusema Bwana asifiwe.

"[You give birth to children who are not okay because you refused to pay dowry for the mother of your children. You don't like to pay dowry yet you come to church and say 'praise God']," Ng'ang'a said.
He further termed individuals living in such unions as "deceivers" whose character resembles empty sacks.
Ng'ang'a pointed out that in his observation, come-we-stay unions normally involve a girl leaving her education to join a man who has abandoned his family, leading to the birth of wayward children.
The pastor asserted that such outcomes arise from a lack of proper religious observance, noting that these parents fail to participate in church services.

Ng'ang'a took his argument to the extent of referencing the Bible, citing the example of Jacob who worked diligently for fourteen years to fulfill the requirements of marrying his wives Leah and Rachel.
"Hakuna mahali Yakobo alichukua watoto wa Laban free. Alifanya kazi fourteen years. Na ni Yakobo wacha wewe Kamau na Onyango," Ng'ang'a said.
He concluded by stating that he would never accept to share the same fate with sinners.
