The clip, reportedly filmed after a recent service at Salvation Healing Ministry, shows Kanyari in close interaction with Sky, prompting mixed reactions from viewers.
Supporters of the preacher argue the moment reflects a normal father-daughter bond.
“It’s simply a playful interaction between a parent and child,” one comment read, emphasizing the warmth often displayed by Kanyari in public appearances.
Others, however, questioned the appropriateness of the gestures, noting that public figures must be mindful of boundaries, particularly with teenagers.
Hashtags such as #FatherhoodBoundaries and #ViralParenting have trended in Kenya as discussions intensified.
This is not the first time Kanyari’s family interactions have sparked debate.
Previous videos showcasing his relationship with Sky and other children have similarly drawn both praise and criticism, reflecting the polarized opinions surrounding the preacher.
Cultural norms, social media scrutiny, and the influence of celebrity clergy all factor into the ongoing conversation.
Kanyari, founder of one of Nairobi’s most debated ministries, has faced multiple controversies over the years, ranging from financial disputes to highly publicized aspects of his personal life.
The latest clip adds to a string of incidents placing his family under public observation, including the introduction of his children to prominent figures and discussions about his late ex-wife, Betty Bayo.
At the time of reporting, neither Kanyari nor his ministry has publicly addressed the viral video.
As the clip continues circulating, it serves as a stark example of how private family moments can become subjects of national debate, reflecting broader conversations about parental boundaries, public perception, and the digital age’s capacity to amplify scrutiny.
