Prophet Victor Kanyari has finally confessed that his infamous ‘mbegu ya 310’ was a calculated scheme to escape poverty.
In a recent sermon, Kanyari confessed that the trick to plant a seed worth Ksh310 was not meant for blessings, healing and miracles as he sold it to his followers, but rather for personal financial gains.
“Mimi ndio nilikuwa mhubiri anaongea Nairobi, hakukua na mwingine. Kina Ezekiel na Ng’ang’a hawakuwa, mimi ndio nilikuwa naongea hii town. Lakini sikuwa na pesa, ndio maana nikaanza kuitisha (Ksh)310. Nikasema panda mbegu ya 310 na tusibishanebishane. Si kutaka kwangu, umaskini ulikuwa umenitandika sawasawa,” Kanyari confessed during a sermon at his Salvation Healing Ministry church in Nairobi.
Loosely translated as “I was on top of the game then. The likes of Pastor Ng’ang’a and Ezekiel were not popular in Nairobi, but I was broke. This is why I decided to introduce the ‘Mbegu ya 310’. I asked people to send me Ksh310. I did it out of desperation, I was flat broke.)”
Further, Kanyari noted that although the motive was not right, he was still anointed and could perform the said miracles including healing and deliverance.
“Nikaanza kuitisha 310 my friend, lakini sikujua Mungu alinipatia akili na maarifa, pesa nitajitafutia. Mungu alinipa annointing, lakini haikuwa annointing ya pesa. Ilikuwa ya kuponya watu magonjwa,” the precher stated.
He said he is enjoying the riches to date.

The preacher dropped his antics after an exposé in 2014 that also led to a separation from his wife Kikuyu gospel singer Betty Bayo.
The exposé was aired by KTN’s then investigative desk, Jicho Pevu, which revealed that all the said miracles were stage-managed.
Betty Bayo has since moved on and held her traditional wedding in December 2021.
“Finally.. it has been 2 years since we met each other and became good friends, what led thereafter no one can explain. I had to take time to get to know you better.
“What inspired me was how you feared God, respected me and the love you showed towards me and the kids. I know your past won’t come as a surprise, at least I know all your exes. You are my answered prayer… my LOVE I know you’re not perfect and that makes the two of us love,” Bayo wrote.
