Embattled Salvation Healing Ministry Pastor Victor Kanyari, has sensationally claimed that he was conned Sh 500,000 by Nairobi Senator, Mike Sonko.
In an exclusive interview with one of the local dailies, Kanyari who was last week exposed for trading fake miracles and prayers for money, said Sonko called him at his office at Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) and told him a prominent family was looking for someone to pray for them at a cost of Sh24 million.
“True to Sonko’s word, the following day, I received a call and a meeting was set up. I was in town along Tom Mboya and within 30 minutes, a Land Rover came for me. I parked my car and got into a GK Land Rover driven by a man in military uniform,” Kanyari said.
“But instead of heading to the venue in Muthaiga, we drove towards KICC,” Kanyari added.
He said his driver was instructed to first go to Sonko’s KICC offices, where Sonko ordered Kanyari to pay a connection fee of Sh 500,000 so that he can be taken to the prominent family.
“I offered him my car as collateral, but he refused. So, I went to town and raised Sh500, 000 from friends. After receiving the cash, Sonko told me to go and wait in the Land Rover at the parking lot,” Kanyari who was almost crying said.
Kanyari says when he got to teh parking lot, there was no Land Rover and when he went back to Sonko’s office, the Senator’s security barred him from accessing Sonko.
“I was conned, but I take full responsibility for being gullible,” He said adding that he reported the matter at KICC Police Post but the police did not believe him.
But in a swift rejoinder Sonko dismissed these claims asking Kanyari to produce evidence.
"I know him and a lot of other bishops but I have never done business with anyone of them. If Kanyari says I conned him, let him come forward with evidence," Sonko said.
