“I Was A Kept Man”: Pastor Kanyari Recalls Having A ‘Mumamaa’ From His Youth

Controversial preacher Pastor Victor Kanyari has left his congregation stunned after sharing a candid testimony about his teenage years. During a recent church service, Kanyari revealed that as an 18-year-old, he was financially dependent on an older woman in an arrangement he described as a “chain” of provision.

According to Kanyari, while he was being “kept” by a 35-year-old woman, she was simultaneously being supported by a high-profile, wealthy benefactor. He explained to his followers that he was being supported by the woman while she herself was being supported by a very wealthy man, creating a chain of dependency.

A Close Call with an Armed Benefactor

The preacher recounted a harrowing night when the wealthy “sponsor” arrived unexpectedly at the house. The man, whom Kanyari described as powerful and armed, demanded to know the identity of the young man he found in the home. Faced with a potentially dangerous confrontation, the woman quickly improvised by introducing Kanyari as her cousin who was looking for work. Kanyari immediately played along with the alibi, confirming he was seeking employment.

Despite the shouting and the tension, Kanyari remained silent, acknowledging his position of total dependence at the time.
