Remorseful Kanyari almost cries while apologising

The Salvation Healing Ministry founder shared a video apologising to Kenyans after being slammed for entertaining a lady who gifted him condoms during a live church service.

"I'm apologising for what happened last Sunday," he said.

The controversial preacher defended himself, saying he was not aware of what was wrapped in the newspaper he was given. The father of two said he was shocked.

"Mimi nimefanyia Mungu kazi for 30 years na sijawahi ona kitu kama hio. Hakuna mtu akoseangi, msichana alikosea na sikutaka kumpiga au kumtusi coz washirika wangempiga (I have worked for God for 30 years and have never seen anything like that. Nobody is perfect, the girl made a mistake, and I didn't want to hit or insult her because the congregation would have attacked her)," he said.

Kanyari claimed it was the lady's first time at his church, and she was not saved.

"I'm sorry. Naomba msinisamehe kwa jambo lililotekea. Jambo kama hilo halitatokea tena, (Please forgive me for what happened. It will not happen again)," he begged.

Pastor Kanyari slams TikTokers

On Sunday, May 19, 200 TikTokers attended the Salvation Healing Ministry church service; some are reported to have misbehaved.

Faith gifted Kanyari a small package wrapped in a newspaper and asked him to unwrap it.

Upon opening it, Kanyari, who was standing at the pulpit, showed the congregation three items: Kotex tampons, Arimis petroleum jelly and a packet of condoms.

Faith also professed her love for the pastor, saying she was ready to settle with him.

Kanyari went live on TikTok on the night of Tuesday, May 21, to clear the air after many called him out for disrespecting the house of the Lord.

"Hawa TikTokers wananiletea aibu (these TikTokers are embarrassing me)," Kanyari said.

Kanyari denies impregnating TikToker

The man of God also took to TikTok to set the record straight after TikToker Rish Kamunge claimed she was carrying his child.

Kanyari denied impregnating Rish, and ever sleeping at her house. The vocal TikToker claimed that aside from being pregnant with Kanyari, he also bought her a car.

The Salvation Healing Ministry founder denied being in a relationship with any TikToker, stating he was single.
