• Mutua prayed that Kanyari may not follow the wrong path and prayed against those hating on Kanyari and accusing him falsely.

Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) CEO Ezekiel Mutua on Friday held a meeting with Pastor Victor Kanyari after an uproar over his TikTok content.

The meeting saw the two discuss a wide range of issues on the do's and don'ts, Mutua said.

According to Mutua, their meeting followed a request from Pastor Kanyari after he had flagged his content on TikTok as inappropriate.

"Pastor Victor Kanyari is genuinely remorseful. He apologised publicly and committed to change and even went live on TikTok to begin the new journey under my mentorship," Mutua said.

"That's why, despite my busy schedule, I agreed to meet him today. After listening to his story and genuine apology, we prayed together and I took up the responsibility of mentoring him."

Mutua prayed that Kanyari may not follow the wrong path and prayed against those hating on Kanyari and accusing him falsely.

He prayed that Kanyari be covered in the blood of Jesus and that he may be used as an instrument of God.

"My message to Pastor Victor Kanyari: "Go and sin no more."And to his accusers: "Let anyone of you who has not sinned cast the first stone"," Mutua stated

Kanyari on his part said he became scared when he saw that Mutua had flagged his content on TikTok as inappropriate.

"Niliona umeongea nikashtuka, nikasema nitatoa wapi huyu mtu niombe msamaha na aniambie nimekosea wapi," Kanyari said.

Kanyari has been holding live sessions on Tik Tok which have become a trending topic and subject of discussion for weeks.

While some viewed his content as inappropriate for a man who professes the Kingdom of God, others expressed support for his content.

The uproar regarding his content saw Mutua warn that he will not hesitate to take action against him.

"Kanyari must be stopped. That's not a church he is running. It's a mockery of the church and a disgrace to the Christian faith," he said.

And added:

"I am talking to the relevant government agencies to see what can be done, but allowing such misuse of digital platforms to normalise evil is something we should not celebrate or condone," he added.
