Kiengei’s apology to Pritty Vishy
Kiengei in his apology had said that he has admitted his wrongdoings adding that he went overboard with his expensive utterance.
Additionally, the man of cloth asked Pritty to forgive him and that she is welcome to join his church.
“Pritty Vishy I am really sorry and I take this moment to highly apologise for mentioning your name in a show where I went overboard and mentioned you in the wrong way. Get a space in your heart to forgive me for addressing you in the wrong way,” he apologized.
“This will never happen in future, I take it as my mistake. Pole my sister na karibu sana JCM Church kanisa la watu wote.“
Pritty Vishy had, however, declined the bishop’s apology stating that she wants it done the same way he made the disrespectful comments.
“When you widely opened your mouth to abusē me did you send your assistant ama ni yeye alikuandikia line? If you wanna talk to me talk to me directly, and before that I don’t want a written apology. I want a video, the same way you sat down and made that disrespectful video, do the same on the apology…don’t send pēoplē to me kwani walikusaidia kucheka?” she said.
