Controversial Nairobi televangelist Pastor Victor Kanyari has once again sparked intense public debate after going live to reveal that he will no longer be paying school fees for his two children. During the live broadcast, the Salvation Healing Ministry founder hinted at brewing underlying tensions, stating that things are getting extremely tough behind the scenes while he chooses to remain silent.
“Things Are Going Badly” – Kanyari Hints at Fresh Family Feud
The unexpected announcement from the preacher has left fans wondering what is happening to his finances and his relationship with his family.
Rather than detailing the exact cause of his sudden financial or personal withdrawal, Kanyari cryptically urged his viewers and followers to direct specific questions to certain individuals involved in his children’s lives.
The Root of the Drama: Ongoing Custody Battle with Stepfather Tash
The latest development comes amidst an intense and highly publicized custody dispute following the tragic death of his ex-wife, popular gospel singer Betty Bayo, who succumbed to advanced-stage blood cancer in late 2025.
Since her passing, the children—Sky and Danny—have been residing under the primary care of their stepfather, Hiram Gitau, widely known as Tash. Reports suggest Kanyari has grown increasingly unhappy with this arrangement. While Kanyari previously claimed to pay upwards of KSh 450,000 to KSh 500,000 per term at the prestigious Woodcreek School, his refusal to keep funding the education has raised major red flags, with reports indicating outstanding fees are already approaching KSh 1 million
Netizens React to Kanyari’s Live Declaration
Social media platforms erupted with mixed reactions following the live feed. While some observers have expressed concern over the children’s well-being and education, many Kenyans on TikTok and Facebook were quick to clap back at the preacher.
Several commentators reminded Kanyari that former President Uhuru Kenyatta had previously pledged to step in and sponsor the children’s education through the Kenyatta Foundation. This reminder has left netizens deeply divided, questioning the actual motives behind Kanyari’s dramatic public outcry.
