He explained that he had a broken arm and was experiencing a scratchy throat during the live session on TikTok, which compelled him to ask his mother for assistance.
"Before you judge, look at the other context, content, and concept, and instead of judging based on one video, watch all the other videos. I just broke my hand, I had a scratchy throat, and I couldn't leave until I was done with the live," Githu said.
Githu further said his mother had no problem offering him assistance given he could not leave the live.
"So, I thought the best thing to do is to ask my mom kindly to get me water, which she doesn't have a problem with if I'm not feeling well and if I can't leave the live video or the situation to get it for myself. It's best if we stop judging," he explained.
While acknowledging the criticism, Reverend Githu regarded it as a learning experience for him.
He expressed his apologies to anyone who was offended by the incident and assured them that he would address the issue and improve upon it.

"I have definitely learned something new, and thank you for all your patience and criticisms," Reverend Githu concluded.
Githu has further promised a reality show that he is working on.
