Kanyari has defended himself:

C&P from Nation

According to Mr Kanyari, audiences can send up to
Sh500,000 after a single episode of preaching. He
said he uses the money to expand his ministry.
“The seed money builds the church, buys a car like
this (pointing to his Ranger Rover Sport), buys
church vans and buses and we also assists
orphans,” he said. Until last month, he had two
television programmes a week.
According to him, all churches ask for money from
their followers and he said he felt unfairly judged
for asking his members to give to the Lord.
“The seed money has been called different names.
In some churches, it is called sacrificial seed, in
other churches it is offering. Mine is called a seed
of faith,” he said.

The story, aired on KTN, also showed footage in
which he appeared to be falsifying phone calls on a
radio programme recorded from his house.
“That one I will admit I was wrong,” he said when
confronted with the question. “It was not a live
recording. We did that to encourage people to call
so that they can receive their prayer.

This one has totally brainwashed his congregation. They have to refer to the Kyunas as Daddy and Mum. Even grown a$$ [middle class] men and women!!! And his arrogance which should be obvious to the congregation is not.

One day I heard [I was not watching - just chillin] him preaching on TV about the promise God has given us and he likened it to the promise he made to his daughter of buying her a car when she turned 18 [or 21 - I was not too keen]. He gave the whole story up to the part where he gave the daughter a brand new BMW!!! No problem giving your daughter a BMW but this guy had no money before he started preaching. None! Read his story. So which money is he using??? Offerings!!! And all the time watu wanawika tu Amen and Hallelujah. ni dawa gani watu wanawekewaga akili ina lock?? Hata Alt + Ctrl + Delete can't help??

I know someone who used to attend the church. They contributed money and bought him a "befitting" car. Then two years later, the wife comes to church earlier than the husband and tells the congregation "Such and such a date is daddy's birthday. I want us to 'surprise' him with a V8 [Or whatever - never mind V8 is not a car]". The church shouts amen. They agree on how they will jitolea to make sure they surprise daddy! That's the day the person who was telling me the story left the church. Luckily for her, she had not checked her brain at the door like the rest!

Mukiri, let me mock you accordingly.

I don't know which Bible you read but I can assure 100% that there is no column in the book of life that talks about, the amount of money this sinner gave to the pastor.

That doesn't exist.

Money will not be a currency in heaven or even in hell for that matter.

So forgive us if we mock people who think that their ticket to heaven is giving money to a fellow to buy a V8. Yaani, you even try to bribe God.

Absolutely, Alma.

You cannot do such things and reap heaven.

One cannot be an actor in deception here on earth then expect to enjoy the society of heaven dwellers in eternity.

There is no need to imagine, we only need to read about reaping what is sown.

Why are you asking for forgiveness? Why are you not sure of yourself?

...your argument with @mukiri will take you nowhere... He is worse than Bastard Kanyari. He counts tithes and offerings for a mega church. He benefits immensely from that by pinching afew thousands during the exercise and being paid for whatever he does in the church.

On this one you are absolutely wrong, this is not an issue of "believe anything" but fraud. One of the simplest duties of government even in a democratic country that defends freedom of religion is to uncover and stop fraud (even Central Bank should be involved because this type of fraud erodes the value of currency as Kanyiri is deceiving his "customers"). You cannot lie to the public you are healing HIV. This is not a "live and let live" situation, you are promoting some sort of don't care "social irresponsibility" that can only result in a "thick nation", it is absolutely your duty (and governments) to be your "thick" brothers/sisters keeper in ALL cases of fraud. Freedom stops where fraud begins, all these liars should be in jail but we Kenyan's as usual ignore all other forms of corruption/theft saying "live and let live" in society and focus on complaining about corruption in garment and MCA's, what's the point?

Do you want the government to deny the masses the opportunity to transition from 'thick' to knowledge ?
