Kanyari, the founder of Salvation Healing Ministry made the remarks during an interview on Youtube on January 29, 2026 adding that Naipei will be preaching in his church.
“Very soon, Marion atakuwa our pastor hapa, nitam ordain hapa na akuwe pastor atakuwa anatuhubiria hapa hata mimi atakuwa pastor wangu,” Kanyari revealed.
Kanyari explained that his decision to support Naipei was driven by concern for her following the backlash she faced online after the scandal.
He added that he felt it would be wrong to abandon her during a difficult moment.
The preacher said he ensured Naipei joined his church as a way of offering support and guidance during the challenging period.
“Marion ni rafiki yangu na siwezi taka kuona mtu akiteseka katika nchi ya Kenya, niliona watu wakipiga Marion sana na wakati niliona anapigwa, nikajua kwamba nishawai pitia katika scandal na nikajua nikimwacha Marion hivi na akose mtu wa kusimama na yeye na kumsaidia itakuwa vibaya,” he added.
“That’s why nika make sure amekuja kanisani.”
Kanyari, during the service held at Salvation and Healing Ministry at Njiru, Nairobi County, on Sunday, January 25, 2026, described her as his “new sweetheart” and “my girl”, while introducing her to the congregation.
