US-based entrepreneur Wairimu Kimani has profusely apologised to Bishop Muthee Kiengei over the leaked audio in which she talked about him with Damaris aka Dama.

Why did Wairimu Kimani apologise to Damaris?

According to the evangelist, she did not have words to express how sorry she was for putting her through immense pain.

"I have prayed and asked God for forgiveness. Although I said it to you privately, I now apologise to you in public because that is where I hurt you the most," she said.

According to Wairimu, women talk and trust each other about the things that hurt them most, and her main mistake was trusting her friend too much.

"She heartlessly hurt me and many others without thinking of the damage she was causing to the parties involved," she added in a heartfelt Facebook post.

Wairimu shared that she has a good record of people trusting her with many sensitive issues, but she has never shared them in public because that was not her nature.

"This whole situation was very unfortunate, and I deeply regret it," she said.

Why did Wairimu apologise to Muthee Kiengei?

In her apology to Bishop Muthee Kiengei, his wife, family and the entire JCM Church, Wairimu said she was sorry and her intention was never to destroy their reputation or image.

"I know I have caused a lot of pain to the bishop and members; I am taking full responsibility for my actions. I have asked God to forgive me and I'm asking the same from Dama, the Bishop and the JCM Church," she said.

"I apologise to all my fans as well. I am in the potter's hands. He will mold me into the person he wants me to be. May the Lord bless you all," said the evangelist while quoting Isaiah 64:8.

Why is Wairimu taking legal action?

According to the YouTuber, many people have accused her of deliberately recording her friend with the intention of causing her and the parties involved premeditated damage.

"Nothing could be further from the truth. My accusers have deliberately refused to empathise with a betrayed woman who in turn, appeared a betrayer. In order to prove my innocence, I am doing everything on my end to resolve the issue legally with my friend who got us into all this mess. I'm hoping that this will be able to fix things," she said.

Wairimu Kimani defends young preacher

Does Wairimu Kimani have a legal recourse?

TUKO.co.ke sought to know if Wairimu had any legal and sought lawyer Collins Wanderi for an expert opinion on the matter.

"How now, did the other friend have access to her phone? From the sound of the recording, it appears to have been done using either Dama or Wairimu's phone. There are no echo or wind filters to suggest that a third party recorded the conversation. If Wairimu shared with her friend, then she has no cause of action," said Wanderi.

"It is not her but Dama who has suffered legal or tortious injury from the breach of privacy. It is Dama Aho who has a cause of action against Wairimu. If Dama chooses to go to court, she will recover damages for breach of privacy. Two, Bishop Ben and his wife can sue Wairimu, too, for defamation. The best Wairimu can do is file an inter-pleader or third-party proceedings to join her "friend"; the person who claims to have leaked the audio, so that they can share liability for the damage done to the public esteem and image of Bishop Ben, his wife and Dama," he added.
