Prophet Victor Kanyari has stated that he will continue his dramatic meat-roasting sessions in church as part of his effort to counter critics questioning his ability to care for his two children. Speaking during a service at his Njiiru church on Sunday, November 23, 2025, he addressed online claims suggesting he should not have custody because of what some describe as his dramatic personality. He challenged those making the allegations to specify what he has done that could justify such conclusions, making it clear that the criticism has left him puzzled rather than intimidated.
Why Is Kanyari Defending His Role as a Parent?
Kanyari responded directly to the claims, questioning their logic and highlighting what he views as unfair judgment. He asked critics to identify any meaningful issue tied to his behavior. “Some people are saying that Kanyari should not be given his children. Even a snake cares for its young. Even a mad person takes care of their children. What are you people talking about? I’m honestly surprised. I don’t want to dwell on it, but people are saying I shouldn’t be with my kids because of my so-called antics. Which big antics are you referring to?” he said.
He singled out accusations linking his meat-roasting activities to parental unfitness. To him, the sessions are harmless, communal, and spiritually aligned. He even expressed intentions to expand them in the coming weeks. “Please, social media people, tell me, what dramatic thing have I ever done? Is it roasting meat at church? If that’s a problem, then yes, I will continue roasting meat at church, and I even plan to roast an entire cow here. If you don’t want me to do it, fine, I will do it anyway, and let that upset you. People, don’t accuse me unfairly, you also have your rights,” he said.
Kanyari emphasized that the gatherings are conducted respectfully and safely, dismissing the idea that they could amount to misconduct. He maintained that the criticism stems more from online assumptions than reality.
Does the “310 Scandal” Affect His Fitness as a Parent?
The pastor also addressed those referencing his past controversies, especially the widely discussed “310 scandal”, where he asked followers to pay Ksh310 for life-changing miracles. Critics, particularly on TikTok, often cite the incident as proof of irresponsibility. Kanyari, however, argued that the scandal is exaggerated and unfairly weaponized against him. He compared it to practices in some churches where congregants give much larger sums, noting that such environments do not attract the same intensity of judgment.
“So what mistakes have we actually made? I don’t see any. Is it because I once had the 310 scandal? You know, in other churches, people are charged even 7,000 shillings, and no one says anything. So why should this minor scandal be used to declare me unfit as a parent?” he said.
Kanyari closed by reinforcing his stance that no incident in his past or present justifies the claim that he cannot raise his children. He intends to continue his church traditions, including the meat-roasting sessions, while challenging those criticizing him to base their arguments on facts rather than speculation.
