Pastor Victor Kanyari, also known as Bishop Mwangi, has bared his soul about his eyebrow-raising plea for followers to contribute money in exchange for blessings and miracles.
The infamous ‘mbegu ya 310’ saga, which once sent shockwaves through the religious community, has now been exposed by the man himself.
His stunning revelation has ignited controversy and captivated the public, leaving netizens in awe.
Speaking passionately from the pulpit of his Salvation Healing Ministry church in Nairobi, Kanyari made a shocking confession.
“Mimi ndio nilikuwa mhubiri anaongea Nairobi, hakukua na mwingine. Kina Ezekiel na Ng’ang’a hawakuwa, mimi ndio nilikuwa naongea hii town.”
“Lakini sikuwa na pesa, ndio maana nikaanza kuitisha (Ksh)310. Nikasema panda mbegu ya 310 na tusibishanebishane. Si kutaka kwangu, umaskini ulikuwa umenitandika sawasawa,” Kanyari confessed

However, amidst the admission of financial desperation, Kanyari boldly asserted that he possessed the power to perform miracles, including healing and delivering people from poverty through prayer.
“Nikaanza kuitisha 310 my friend, lakini sikujua Mungu alinipatia akili na maarifa, pesa nitajitafutia. Mungu alinipa annointing, lakini haikuwa annointing ya pesa. Ilikuwa ya kuponya watu magonjwa,” Kanyari added.
Presenting a stark contrast to his past struggles, Kanyari proudly declared his current wealth, boasting of multiple cars and his children attending prestigious schools.
Yet, the pastor’s journey from grace to disgrace unfolded in 2014 when KTN’s investigative series, Jicho Pevu, uncovered the orchestrated deception behind Kanyari’s miracles.
The exposé not only shattered the illusion but also ended the ties between Kanyari and his then-wife, Gospel singer Betty Bayo, who distanced herself from her husband’s fraudulent practices.
The aftermath of the scandal marked a poignant chapter in Bayo’s flourishing music career, adding layers of intrigue to Kanyari’s tumultuous tale of redemption and controversy.
