Reverend Joy Kiengei has responded to the latest online drama surrounding her husband, Bishop Ben Kiengei, and businesswoman Dama Wa Spares.
Joy appeared to address the situation through a brief post on Facebook shortly after her husband denied claims that he fathered Dama’s third child.
In her message, Joy said she was not bothered by the ongoing conversation and wished everyone peace and love. Her response quickly attracted attention from social media users, with many interpreting it as a sign that she was choosing not to engage with the allegations.
The latest controversy began after claims emerged online linking Bishop Kiengei to Dama’s newborn child. The bishop strongly denied the allegations and accused some bloggers and social media users of using artificial intelligence to manipulate images of the baby in an attempt to create a resemblance between him and the child.
Kiengei expressed concern that an innocent child had been dragged into the controversy and maintained that the claims were part of an attempt to damage his reputation and ministry.
The bishop later shared a video featuring himself and his wife Joy, showing the couple together amid the growing online discussion.
The latest drama has also brought back memories of the troubled relationship between Kiengei and Dama.
Dama was previously associated with Kiengei’s church, where she served as a matron. Their relationship later came under public scrutiny following an audio recording that surfaced online in 2024.
In the recording, Dama made claims about her relationship with the bishop. Kiengei denied the allegations, while Dama eventually left the church.
The two sides have since had several public disagreements, although tensions appeared to ease at one point.
With the fresh paternity claims now circulating online, the old controversy has returned to the spotlight.
For now, Joy appears to be staying away from the details of the allegations, choosing instead to maintain a calm public presence as her husband continues to deny the claims.
