Salvation Healing Ministries founder and head preacher Pastor Victor Kanyari has revealed why he has not remarried since his marriage with gospel singer Betty Bayo ended more than seven years ago.

The pastor, who shares two children, Dani and Sky Victor, with the late ‘Busy Busy’ crooner, said that he has not found another woman with the qualities he admired in Betty.

Speaking during her memorial service on Sunday, November 16, 2025, Kanyari said that most of the women he meets now do not meet the standards he values in a life partner.

“The reason why I have never remarried is that I have never found a woman like Betty Bayo again. The other women I meet are either crazy or lack the qualities I want in a life partner,” Kanyari said.

He explained that he has never met a woman in his church who is emotionally stable, intelligent, and capable of managing a household while also being a supportive partner.

The pastor added that he would rather remain single than take someone randomly and risk problems for himself or his children.

“I have never met a woman in this church who is mentally stable and whom I would consider marrying. The women in this church are not of sound mind, and I know how to read character,” Kanyari added.

Kanyari said his focus on his children has also influenced his decision to remain single.

He explained that even as he grows older, he prioritises the well-being of Dani and Sky Victor, making sure they are in the right environment.

He emphasised the need to protect his family from women who could disrupt his household or negatively influence his children.

“I cannot take someone randomly to trouble my children or myself. I would rather stay alone. I will stay alone,” the preacher shared.

Social media activity

The pastor also highlighted the importance of personal and mental stability in a partner.

He said that he cannot consider marriage with someone whose behaviour or social media activity could cause mental stress or distraction.

Kanyari added that he cannot marry anyone who could drive him crazy or upset the balance he maintains at home.

“It has been more than seven years since I separated from Betty Bayo. Now I am getting older, but even as I age, I remain calm knowing my children are in the right place. I have to be careful about what I see on social media. I cannot take in things that disturb my mind. I also cannot marry someone whose behaviour or what they tell me could make me anxious or unbalanced,” Kanyari said.

Pastor Kanyari’s comments come in the wake of Betty Bayo’s untimely death last week.

Bayo, popularly known for her hit song Busy Busy, passed away after battling acute leukaemia and excessive bleeding.

She was first admitted to AAR Hospital on Kiambu Road before being transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital, where she succumbed at 1:03 pm on Monday.

Preparations for Bayo’s final send-off are ongoing, with the main burial service scheduled for Thursday, November 20, 2025, at Ndumberi Stadium.

Family members, friends, and fellow gospel artistes have continued to pay tribute to the late singer, celebrating her as a gifted musician who touched many lives through her ministry and music.
