Controversial preacher Pastor Kanyari has stirred fresh online debate after claiming that his daughter, Sky Victor, earns a monthly salary of KSh 500,000 from an advertising role linked to a maize milling company.
Speaking during a church sermon, Kanyari expressed surprise at what he described as his daughter’s impressive income, saying the amount was significant for someone her age. He suggested that Sky Victor is financially independent and already managing her own earnings without external control.
According to the preacher, the payments are made through a cheque system and deposited directly into Sky’s personal bank account. He further joked that despite attempts to have the money handled differently, his daughter strongly insists on controlling her own finances.
“She is being given a cheque of KSh 500,000 per month… and she tells me, ‘No, Dad, it must go to my account,’” Kanyari said, adding that Sky is “sharp” and very independent when it comes to money matters.
His remarks also included light-hearted comments about her personality at home, describing her as clever and outspoken, even in small family situations. He humorously suggested that she often takes credit for tasks in a way that reflects her strong character.
The claims quickly triggered mixed reactions online. Some social media users expressed admiration for the reported income, saying it was motivating and a sign of young people succeeding early in life. Others reacted with disbelief, questioning the nature of the job and whether such earnings are realistic in the advertising sector.
Meanwhile, others focused on humor, turning the revelation into jokes and memes, while some called for more transparency regarding the company and role involved.
In a related development, Kanyari has previously spoken about his daughter’s health and personal challenges, as well as his continued role in supporting his children following the death of their mother, gospel singer Betty Bayo.
The latest remarks have once again placed the preacher and his family in the spotlight, fueling both admiration and controversy across Kenyan social media platforms.
