Popular Akurinu Singer Karangu Muraya Admits to Siring Child Out of Wedlock

Popular Akurinu gospel singer Karangu Muraya has publicly admitted to siring a child out of wedlock.

Through his Facebook page, the musician shared a photo of his daughter named Shiru and wished her happy birthday.

Muraya, who is known for his charity work, went on to admit infidelity in his marriage and called upon other men with kids out of wedlock to take responsibility and show them love.

“Happy birthday my daughter Shiru, daddy loves you much. To my fellow men…if you were blessed with a kid out of wedlock like me accept and refuse to be a deadbeat dad,” he wrote.

He added: “Let’s take responsibility for them and show them love because one day they will also be a blessing to us. Live long my daughter.”

The singer’s post attracted more than 5,000 comments and 16,000 likes, with many lauding him for taking responsibility for his daughter. Among those who commented was his wife Triza Wamuraya, who wished the girl happy birthday, terming her as a blessing.

“Happy birthday girl…you are a blessing. Life must go on,” she wrote.

Muraya did not give details of the girl’s age and her mother.

Let's not pretend here. We cannot take the position that infidelity equals "blessings" when there is a love child.I would be very surprised if the intent of many who have affairs is to have "blessed children".Are we to understand that children born out of wedlock are blessings,thus special? These children are no more special than any other children born in marriage...They need the same love and care from both parents...This is almost like condoning infidelity,by loosely throwing in reverent world like "blessing".
I dont commend him for taking responsibility for his actions.But I appreciate him realizing that he should do the fatherly thing...He is not doing anything special. He is supposed to take care of his children in or out of the wedlock .He should.No question about that.Why should he not. You play you pay.Its his child. I would commend him if he did something courageous ,like killing a would be rapist to protect his daughter...Now that's commendable.
Not sure if its genetic,or cultural,but if tables were turned,and the wife was bringing home alove child sired by the local pastor,the reaction would be the same. Women appear to be more tolerant that men in such matters...May be they are smarter.

Usherati, ukwale, kushokwa na nyege, kumnyongonezea kaka au kibibi asite kuwa mkeo, kumfinyia mwanamke asio mkeo jicho, kuupapasa unyuma wa mke au mme, haikuanza leo. Yalianza tangu jadi. Unaposoma ng'ano za Daudi, Sodom na ngomora n.k, katika Bibilia au katika Quran Tukufu, matukio ya mkorino huyu si mageni duniani. Ni matukio yanatorudiwa rudiwa kizazi baada ya kingine. Yaani ni dhambi za mpito. Dhambi zakuachiana. Dhambi za kuridhiwa na wajiitao watumishi wa Mungu waishio hekaruni makanisani. Msikize mchungaji mtukutu James Nganga wa kanisa la NENO akimtetea askofu aliyepelekwa mahakamani na kibibi. Eti kwamba yeye ana watoto zaidi ya 70 katika kila sehemu ya Kenya. Na si kwa majivuno hapa. Ni nadra sana kumsikia MJUAJI akidoea doea kila anapokutana na mrembo aliyeumbwa akaumbika. Si kwamba jicho haliona. Linaona kila kitu kilicho maridadi maridhawa. Lakini unapobadirisha ulichokiona na kisha kukipeleka katika fikra za upishi wa ngono na ukware, unajiingiza katika utumwa wa dhambi. Kinachonikera na kunichukiza ni vile Muraya Karangu, James Nganga, Bishop Muriithi na wachungaji wengineo chungu nzima wanavyotetea dhambi za usherati wao kana kwamba wao ni Malaika. Siku za KIAMA sitakapowajia, takriban thuluthi ya wanao hubiri kuhusu ufalme wa Mungu watateketea katika moto wa Jehanamu pamoja na Malkia Elizabeth waUingereza, Kenyatta, Moi, Biwott, arap Too, William Ruto, Kones, Labosos, Bargetuny, Ntimama, Nassir, Chotara, Kamotho, Nyachae, nk; huku MJUAJI akiandamana na Nelson Mandera, Father Kaiser, Bishop Muge, mama Teresa, Gandhi n.k katika paradiso isio mwisho wala kilele. Nikunong'ona tu. Haisru.

Blessings my foot. Yes, that's an innocent child but you are attempting damage control! With quickly changing laws that will cost men dearly,we need to embrace vasectomies. After 100% conviction that I NEVER EVER want to be responsible for fathering another child, I queitly made an appointment to have a vasectomy three years ago. The peace of mind it gives me is so worth it. The possibility of slipping into a calculating slay queen's trap is not a risk I am willing to take. Yes, utamu ni ile ile in case you are curious hehehehe

Kenya, let's chat about the use of Bible verses when you have abided by the following

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 Killing of a rebellious son
Psalm 137:9 Killing of babies
Leviticus 15:19-33 - Never touching a woman on her period.

....and there is more where that came from.

Also, can you please explain why the story of Noah's flood is not recorded anywhere in history other than the Bible? With 4000 years of written history, the Egyptians have no record of Israelites in their midst. Also, the Bible has no record of Pyramids, yet they were there during the years that the Israelites were supposedly there.

My friend, learn to question your sources and beliefs.

This days just know being a preacher or a priest or a religious singer is just a career like the way one is a nurse and another a housecleaner. These people are as human as it gets. In the same measure maybe we should also stop believing everything these people say….. because they are as human as it can be🤔. Sad but true

@ Mary, I have no issues with people taking to preaching as a career.Or becoming priests.Yes, they are human beings.Their humanity is not in question here. What is in question is their dedication to this respectable vocation. You have to abide by the requirements of that vocation to be taken seriously,or as a bona fide servant. As a preacher, you are not supposed to fornicate , steal, cheat,become greedy,selfish,unloving...etc. You are held at a higher moral,and ethical standard.So when you accept to do the work of God,look at the way His Son Jesus Christ lived for guidance.If you cannot abide by the rules and requirements,take your humanity to another career that condones "worldly" life style.What say you?

This is what happened when we the stupid black man follows the white man brainwashed bible.We stopped following our customs as africans or as a gikuyu where getting married to 1/2/3 wives have never bin bad.Mr karagu if u have free time n think deep u have done the right thing n no apologies.Just take care of yr daughter n talk to your wife to try understand the situation.If she decides to quit yr marriage so be it.Hii unjinga ya kufuata dini za uzungu with white Jesus as Africans need to end.

Wells Mr Mwaks. He cant follow white Jeez and be in a polygamous marriage. So you are saying he gives up his akorino cum christian belief and embrace polygamous tradition minus his wife? that's brave of you to ask.

I'd say let him just be human and accept he get's no additional power from his beliefs, he is as weak as we are, he errors, and has admitted to his errors.

He whoever hasn't sinned, let them throw the first stone....
We have to understand that as human beings curiosity will be there, peer pressure and hormones changes.
Our religious leaders and parents will tell us one thing and do the opposite.
