Kanyari vows to continue roasting meat in church to silence his haters
By Steve Ireri, November 24, 2025Salvation Healing Ministries founder Prophet Victor Kanyari has declared that he will continue his dramatic meat-roasting sessions in church in a bid to silence critics who have questioned his ability to take care of his two children.
Speaking during a church service at his Njiiru-based church on Sunday, November 23, 2025, Kanyari addressed online claims suggesting he should not be allowed custody of his children because he is a dramatic person.
He questioned what exactly he had done that could justify such claims, asking critics to point out any specific incidents.
“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.
The pastor ridiculed assertions that roasting meat for his congregation could ever be considered a wrongdoing, stating that he even plans to roast an entire cow in future sessions to uphold his tradition.
Kanyari emphasised that such events are conducted respectfully and safely, and serve as both a spiritual and communal activity rather than a display of recklessness.
“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 also defended himself against claims that his past scandals, particularly the so-called “310 scandal”, disqualify him from being a fit parent.
Critics, particularly TikTokers, have repeatedly cited the scandal, in which he asked people to pay Ksh310 to receive life-changing miracles, as evidence of irresponsibility.
Kanyari, however, dismissed the criticism, pointing out that some churches routinely collect large sums from their members, sometimes even Ksh7,000 daily, and that such practices should not be used to question his parenting.
“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.
