A heartfelt video of the late gospel performer Betty Bayo, in which she expresses her love for her late husband, Hiram “Tash” Gitau, has been rediscovered on the internet. When compared to the disagreements that have arisen among the family in the wake of her departure, the video provides a striking and moving contrast.
In the film, which is being widely disseminated, Betty frankly recounts the bliss she discovered in her marriage and substantiates the authenticity of her relationship with Tash.
Betty contemplated the factors that set her marriage to Tash apart from other marriages, highlighting the distinction between just being married and experiencing genuine happiness.
It is uncommon to come across individuals who are content in their marriages, yet I am married. There are a lot of people who are married. The two are completely distinct from one another… That brings me to a happy marriage.
She revealed that the freedom to be her own self was the solution to the problem. Betty made the observation that Tash welcomed her without any conditions, without requiring her to alter her appearance or present a manufactured version of an individual.
“In my opinion, when you marry your closest friend, you do not have to sacrifice who you are in order to be what you are not. No, you are not a fake; you are genuine… Regardless of who you are, he loves you. As a kienyeji, he loves me just as I am, without any changes.
Betty refuted any notion that her connection with Tash was casual by elaborating on the nature of their relationship in a separate videotape. She was certain about the state of their relationship.
She emphasised that Tash had completed all of the rituals and procedures that were required in order to formally become a member of her family. It was verified by Betty that it was a marriage and not a partnership.
As of right now, it is official: Tash “ameenda kwetu”. None of the other people who have ever visited our house have ever done so.
“We tied the knot in 2021, and here we are in the year 2023.” Recent assertions that the pair was only cohabiting or in a casual relationship are thoroughly debunked by Betty’s confirmation of both of these statements.
At a time when there is a high-profile confrontation between Betty’s family and her widower, Tash, these tapes have emerged.
The 10th of November, 2025, saw Betty passing away in Kenyatta National Hospital, where she was receiving treatment for severe leukaemia at the time of her passing.
After her body was laid to rest at the Mugumo Estate in Kiambu, her family made a number of claims that are quite distressing.
Edward Kang’ethe Mbugua, her brother, said that the family was not provided with sufficient information on the severity of her sickness.
A public accusation was made by Joyce Wairimu, Betty’s mother, that Tash had failed to properly marry her daughter. This assertion was immediately refuted by Betty’s own statements, which were found in the films that were rediscovered.
Since then, Wairimu has made a public demand for custody of her grandkids and has insisted on having an autopsy performed as well as maybe having the body exhumed in order to ascertain the actual cause of death.
The emotional anguish has been further exacerbated by the fact that Pastor Victor Kanyari, who was previously married to Betty, has publicly pushed Tash to comply with Wairimu’s demands.
