<p>Controversial preacher Pastor Victor Kanyari has addressed the infamous 'Mbegu ya 310' controversy, shedding light on the motives behind his plea for financial contributions from his followers. </p>

<p>Speaking at his Salvation Healing Ministry church in Nairobi, Kanyari revealed that his call for Sh310 donations was driven by a desperate desire to escape poverty rather than the promise of miracles.</p>

<h3>The Origin of the Sh310 controversy</h3>

<p>The 'Mbegu ya 310' controversy first gained public attention in 2014 when <em>KTN's </em>investigative desk, Jicho Pevu, exposed Kanyari for allegedly conning his followers through staged miracles.</p>

<p>The revelation shocked many, tarnishing Kanyari's reputation and sparking widespread debate about the authenticity of his ministry.</p>

<h3>Kanyari confesses he conned his followers using Sh310</h3>

<p>Kanyari has now confessed that his decision to request Sh310 from his followers stemmed from financial struggles rather than a genuine intention to perform miracles. </p>

<p>He explained that at the time, he believed he was the most influential preacher in Nairobi, yet poverty had overwhelmed him completely. </p>

<p>In his own words,<em> "I was the preacher speaking in Nairobi; there was no one else. But I didn’t have money, that’s why I started asking for Sh310."</em></p>

<h3>Pastor Kanyari's quest for financial relief</h3>

<p>Acknowledging his financial hardship, Kanyari elaborated that his plea for Sh310 contributions was born out of necessity. </p>

<p><em>"Sikuwa na pesa, ndio maana nikaanza kuitisha Sh310. Nikasema panda mbegu ya 310 na tusibishanebishane. Si kutaka kwangu, umaskini ulikuwa umenitandika sawasawa,” </em>confessed Kanyari.</p>

<p>Despite initially associating the donations with his prosperity, Kanyari emphasised that the financial aspect was not the primary motivation behind his ministry.</p>

<p>Over time, Kanyari came to realise that his true calling was not about accumulating wealth but rather about healing people from diseases. </p>

<p>He recognised that the true essence of his ministry lay in his ability to provide spiritual healing rather than financial prosperity.<em> "God gave me an anointing, but it wasn’t anointing for money. It was for healing people from diseases,"</em> he affirmed.</p>

<h3>Pastor Kanyari's prosperity amidst controversy</h3>

<p>Despite the turbulent history surrounding the 'Mbegu ya 310' controversy, Kanyari proudly declared his prosperity. </p>

<p>He revealed that he now enjoys wealth and abundance, owning numerous cars and providing his children with access to prestigious schools. </p>
