Muthee has spent his week highlighting the joys of raising his young daughter and the celebrations culminated in the message to fathers who may be tempted to ignore their children because of the circumstances around how they came into the world.
"Your child is not a sin, he or she is your responsibility until death," stated Muthee, who is also a pastor in the AIPCA church.
Orpah Benson is the comedian's daughter with his ex-wife, popular radio presenter Keziah Kariuki. The couple parted ways and have different partners now.
"Dear men, your child is 'NOT YOUR PAST'. Ati tulizaa na yeye halafu nikaokoka (wacha ujinga).
"Your child is and will never be counted as a forgiven sin... a kid is not a sin," Kiengei's post read.
The entertainer accompanied the post to his 97K Instagram followers with a photo of himself and members of his family.
A majority of his followers agreed with his recommendation. Some of the comments read:-
