Political activismRev. Njoya is popularly known for being one of the church leaders who publicly spoke and protested against the autocracy and brutality of the then President Daniel arap Moi in the 1980s and 90s. In his sermons, he advocated for political and social justice reforms in Kenya. In particular, he called for the re-introduction of multiparty democracy and strongly defended the freedom of expression and association as enshrined in the constitution.[5] He was arrested on several occasions as a result of his activism. Njoya's use of church pulpit as a platform for political activism did not go well with the church leadership that at the time advocated for political neutrality. Njoya condemned the church for remaining silent despite widespread injustices perpetrated by the government. This condemnation saw him subjected to the church disciplinary process before he was transferred from St. Andrews PCEA church in Nairobi to Nyeri in 1987.[6][7] He nevertheless continued with his activism once he was restored to his position but with more support from the masses that had become more enlightened to the ideas of democracy. Njoya was one of the leaders of Saba Saba multiparty demonstrations on 7 July 1990 that forced the repressive Moi regime to allow the re-introduction of multi-party state. The demonstrations left eight people dead and many others injured and detained. Njoya was badly beaten by the police.[8][9] ControversyIn August 2017, Rev Njoya announced that he was launching a book he had finished writing titled "The Divinity of Clitoris". A section of Kenyans found this book controversial considering the fact that Njoya had served as a minister in one of the most conservative denominations in Kenya.[10] Personal LifeRev. Njoya is married to Leah Wambui Njau and they have five children.[11] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Pala|first1=Oyunga|title=We The People: 10 Deep Philosophical Thoughts from Timothy Njoya|url=http://oyungapala.com/we-the-people-10-deep-philosophical-thoughts-from-timothy-njoya/|accessdate=19 July 2017}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Njoya, Timothy}}{{Kenya-bio-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|last1=Manana|first1=Francis|title=Timothy Njoya|url=http://www.dacb.org/stories/kenya/njoya_timothy.html|website=Dictionary of African Christian Biography|accessdate=19 July 2017}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Kweyu|first1=Dorothy|title=Churches preaching money leaving matatu and bars to teach morality|url=http://www.nation.co.ke/news/Reverend-Timothy-Njoya-Church-Religion/1056-2066146-bb21tiz/index.html|accessdate=19 July 2017|agency=Nation Media Group|publisher=Daily Nation|date=8 November 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Manana|first1=Francis|title=Timothy Njoya|url=http://www.dacb.org/stories/kenya/njoya_timothy.html|website=Dictionary of African Christian Biography|accessdate=19 July 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Manana|first1=Francis|title=Timothy Njoya|url=http://www.dacb.org/stories/kenya/njoya_timothy.html|website=Dictionary of African Christian Biography|accessdate=19 July 2017}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Wafula|first1=Paul|title=Fiery Rev Timothy Njoya's sermon that left church divided|url=https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2000227517/fiery-rev-timothy-njoya-s-sermon-that-left-church-divided|accessdate=19 July 2017|agency=The Standard|publisher=Standard Digital|date=21 December 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web|last1=Manana|first1=Francis|title=Timothy Njoya|url=http://www.dacb.org/stories/kenya/njoya_timothy.html|website=Dictionary of African Christian Biography|accessdate=19 July 2017}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=Timothy Njoya badly beaten during demonstrations in Kenya.|url=https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Timothy+Njoya+badly+beaten+during+demonstrations+in+Kenya.-a030481131|accessdate=19 July 2017|agency=The Free Library|publisher=Presbyterian Record|date=1 September 1997}} 9. ^{{cite news|last1=Malanda|first1=Ted|title=Day Rev Timothy Njoya was beaten like a snake|url=https://www.sde.co.ke/article/2000169757/day-rev-timothy-njoya-was-beaten-like-a-snake|accessdate=19 July 2017|agency=The Standard|publisher=Standard Digital Entertainment|date=19 July 2015}} 10. ^http://nairobinews.nation.co.ke/life/rev-njoya-book-clitoris/ 11. ^{{cite web|last1=Manana|first1=Francis|title=Timothy Njoya|url=http://www.dacb.org/stories/kenya/njoya_timothy.html|website=Dictionary of African Christian Biography|accessdate=19 July 2017}} 8 : Living people|1941 births|Kenyan democracy activists|People from Nyeri County|Kikuyu people|Politics of Kenya|Christian theologians|Kenyan Christians |
