Just hours after popular philanthropist Karangu Muraya held a closed-door meeting with Hiram Gitau (Tash) to broker a private truce, the parenting drama surrounding the late Betty Bayo’s children has taken a highly volatile financial twist.
Tuko News
The battle lines between Tash and biological father Pastor Victor Kanyari have officially shifted from emotional neglect claims to hard financial receipts. Documents allegedly detailing multi-million-shilling bank transfers for 13-year-old Sky’s high-cost elite school fees have leaked across social media blocks—sparking massive debate over who is actually carrying the financial weight of the children’s lifestyle.

The Paper Trail: What the Leaked Receipts Reveal
For months, Pastor Kanyari has used his pulpit and TikTok live broadcasts to claim that he is the sole financial anchor for the children, alleging that Tash had failed to provide adequate material or structural care.
However, the leaked bank deposit slips—verified by eagle-eyed netization sleuths as authentic transactions targeting a prestigious international school in Nairobi—tell a completely different story. The documents highlight consecutive, large-sum fee clearances explicitly authorized under Tash’s commercial bank accounts over the last academic year.

The unexpected leak has completely scrambled the online narrative. Fans who previously backed the controversial preacher are now questioning whether Kanyari was intentionally minimizing the widower’s active investment in the children’s welfare to gain leverage in the upcoming Children’s Court battle.
Kanyari Softens His Stance: The New Co-Parenting “Rules”
Sensing a sudden shift in public opinion following the documentation exposure and Karangu Muraya’s intervention, Pastor Kanyari held an emergency digital address on Friday morning. Dropping his aggressive “return my children immediately” rhetoric, the Salvation Healing Ministries founder stated he is now ready to co-parent with Tash—but only under strict, non-negotiable guidelines.

Kanyari’s New Rules of Engagement:
Total Digital Blackout: Both Sky and her younger brother Danny must be completely banned from hosting unsupervised social media live streams or recording lifestyle videos.
Scheduled Access Tracks: Kanyari demands unhindered physical access to the children every alternate weekend, alongside taking full custody of them during long school holiday breaks.
Monitored Financial Ledgers: To prevent further public mudslinging over money, Kanyari insists on establishing a transparent, joint-contribution escrow account specifically for school fees and medical coverage.
“I have no problem with Tash raising the kids because they love him,” Kanyari muttered during his brief update. “But I am the biological father. I will not sit back and watch my daughter’s life played out on TikTok for views while my rights are systematically ignored.”
Housemaid Exposes Household Secrets
Compounding the chaotic legal fallout is an explosive, widely shared interview featuring the family’s former housemaid. Stepping into the digital spotlight, the former domestic worker shared intimate details regarding the real state of affairs inside Tash’s residence before the drama went public.
The worker claimed that while Tash has shown deep, genuine affection and structural commitment to the kids since Betty Bayo’s passing, the lack of a maternal anchor has created an environment where the teenagers hold immense, unmonitored influence over household schedules. She alleged that attempts by close family friends to regulate Sky’s smartphone access were met with heavy resistance, creating the exact governance loophole that allowed the viral TikTok live incident to happen.

Will the Courts Intervene?
As family lawyers prepare to file final affidavits early next week, the leaked financial receipts could heavily influence the judge’s decision. Under section 76 of the Kenyan Children Act, when determining a child’s best interests during a custody dispute, the court closely examines which party maintains the existing material, educational, and emotional stability of the minors.
With Karangu Muraya actively working backstage to get both men to sign a binding out-of-court parental agreement, fans of the late Betty Bayo are urging both factions to put their pride away. The coming days will show whether Kanyari’s new compromise rules can form a lasting peace, or if this high-profile family dispute will continue to play out in front of the public.
