Prophet Kanyari Criticizes Tash Over Family Matters

Prophet Victor Kanyari has publicly criticized Hiram Gitau, known as Tash, accusing him of disrespecting his family. Kanyari's comments come in the wake of his ongoing disputes with Tash, who is the stepfather to Kanyari's children.

In a series of Facebook posts, Kanyari questioned Tash's right to speak about his children, given that Tash was in a relationship with the late Betty Bayo for seven years without having children together. Kanyari further suggested that Betty Bayo would still be alive if they had remained together.

Prophet Victor Kanyari is a well-known Kenyan pastor and televangelist, recognized for his work with the Salvation Healing Ministries. He has been a controversial figure in Kenya, often making headlines for his outspoken nature and public disputes.

The broader context of this dispute involves the recent passing of Betty Bayo, a celebrated gospel singer who died from leukemia in November 2025. Following her death, Kanyari has been vocal about his concerns regarding the custody and well-being of their two children, Sky and Dani. In December 2025, Kanyari announced plans to purchase a Ksh 90 million mansion in Runda for his children, highlighting his commitment to their future according to the Kenyan Post.

In June 2026, Kanyari accused Tash of restricting his access to the children, leading to public calls for a peaceful resolution as reported by The Kenya Times. This ongoing family drama continues to capture public attention, highlighting the complexities of blended family dynamics.
