Preacher Bishop Ben Kiengei has apologized to digital content creator Pritty Vishy for derogatory comments he made about her appearance.
Kiengei made the remarks in an interview on his TV channel.
He expressed regret over his remarks, which were met with disapproval by Vishy.
“Huyu amepata Stevo anajulikana (Pritty Vishy) lakini anataka pia kujulikana….she’s not beautiful, she is not appealing,” Kiengei had said in the video.
Pritty Vishy did not hold back her feelings about the situation.
“I was shocked when I heard a whole bishop was body shaming me,” she said in the video, clearly upset by the public mockery.
“I will be there this Sunday, and I want you to tell me the same words in front of me and your members,” Vishy said.
Kiengei’s remarks sparked widespread backlash on social media, prompting him to issue an apology on his Facebook page.
In his apology on Facebook, Bishop Kiengei expressed deep regret for his remarks about Pritty Vishy, stating:
“Pritty Vishy, I am really sorry and I take this moment to highly apologize for mentioning your name in a show where I went overboard and mentioned you in a wrong way. Get a space in your heart to forgive me for addressing you in a wrong way… ”
“This will never happen in future, I take it as my mistake. Pole my sister na karibu sana JCM CHURCH, KANISA LA WATU WOTE…”
