Controversial preacher Victor Kanyari has once again sparked online debate after rewarding a woman with KSh 10,000 for tattooing his 2027 political campaign slogan on her body.
In a video circulating widely on TikTok and Facebook, the woman is seen showing off a fresh tattoo linked to Kanyari’s reported parliamentary ambitions in Kasarani ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The tattoo carried the words:

Kanyari appeared surprised after noticing the tattoo still looked fresh and painful.
“Hata iko na kidonda… haijapona?”
Moments later, he instructed someone nearby to reward her financially.
“Mpatie elfu kumi hapa tafadhali, mpatie 10K.”

Victor Kanyari has, in recent months, intensified activities linked to his reported 2027 Kasarani MP ambitions, with the preacher frequently visiting different wards and interacting with residents across the constituency.
Kanyari has also been pushing the slogan “Panga Kasarani Kanyari 2027” through livestreams and videos shared on social media by both him and his supporters.
While engaging locals during one of his ground visits, the preacher insisted leadership requires direct interaction with wananchi.
“No shortcuts to leadership — lazima uvae viatu, uingie ground, usalimie watu na usikie shida zao live!”
Online Reactions Flood Social Media
While some supporters praised the gesture as generosity, many social media users responded with humour and disbelief.
Several comments focused on the amount given compared to the permanent nature of the tattoo.
“It’s the extreme you people are going for the money 🤑”
“Only 10K? 😂😮”
“Desperation on another level.”
Rachel Wandeto’s Tattoo Saga Ended Tragically
The Kanyari tattoo story has also reminded many Kenyans of the late gospel singer Rachel Wandeto, who previously attracted national attention after tattooing President William Ruto’s face on her shoulder and chest alongside the phrase “Tutam” — a reference to “Two Terms”.
Wandeto was allegedly attacked by unknown assailants in Nairobi’s Mwiki area along Obama Road shortly after midnight.
Police in Kasarani launched investigations after she was rushed to the hospital with severe burns. Reports indicated she had suffered nearly 70 per cent burns after allegedly being doused with petrol and set on fire.
The incident sparked widespread outrage online, with many linking the attack to political intolerance and growing tensions around public political expression.
Weeks later, Wandeto died while receiving treatment following complications from surgery.
“She fought for her life until the very end,” a family source reportedly said.
