Salvation Healing Ministry founder Pastor Victor Kanyari has dismissed claims that his interest in the Kasarani parliamentary seat is motivated by the lucrative salary and perks that come with being a Member of Parliament.<\/p>\n
Speaking during his midweek church service on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, Kanyari said the earnings attached to the MP position are actually modest compared to the income he already makes from his businesses.<\/p>\n
According to the controversial preacher, the estimated KSh800,000 monthly salary earned by MPs is not enough to attract him into politics purely for financial reasons.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am currently vying for the Kasarani MP seat, but people should not think I am going there because of the big salary of around KSh800,000. That amount is actually very small money,\u201d Kanyari told congregants.<\/p>\n
He went on to claim that some of his personal businesses are capable of generating a similar amount within a single day.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have many businesses, and those businesses can make even KSh800,000 in a day. So I\u2019m not joining politics because of money. I\u2019m interested in the connections,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Kanyari explained that his main motivation for entering politics is the influence and networks that come with leadership positions.<\/p>\n
The televangelist said he believes such political connections could also benefit his followers by opening doors to opportunities and leadership roles in the future.<\/p>\n
According to him, some of the people close to him could eventually rise to positions such as Members of County Assembly (MCAs), Women Representatives, and other elective offices through the networks he hopes to build.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I get those connections, I will also connect my followers. Some of them could become MCAs, Women Representatives, and even bigger leaders in future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Kanyari also reflected on his controversial past fundraising tactics in church, particularly the famous KSh310 \u201cmiracle seed\u201d contributions that once dominated his ministry.<\/p>\n
The preacher admitted that he deliberately kept the amount at KSh310 because it was affordable for many followers and encouraged wider participation.<\/p>\n
He explained that increasing the amount could have discouraged supporters from contributing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat time when I used to ask followers to send KSh310 for miracles, people were comfortable sending it because it was fair. I never changed the amount because I understood many people were willing to send KSh310,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI could not suddenly ask for KSh1,000 when people were not willing to give that amount. You also have to be wise when it comes to branding,\u201d Kanyari added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
