Citizen TV anchor apologised to Christians across Kenya and the world for renouncing the Seventh Day Adventist Church and for attacking their beliefs.
Mbugua, on Saturday, February 28, claimed that the SDA church was a cult, a remark that irked his followers and Christians who lashed back at him, especially after he cursed Ellen Gould White, (one of the founders of SDA church and a renowned author).
Arguing that he had been a staunch SDA member since childhood, the journalist opined that SDA faithful were brainwashed.
"Am sorry guys, I have an apology to issue I am sorry for all the strong views I expressed against Adventists here in Kenya and across the world. I will pull down all my posts and videos and retract my statements," he wrote on Facebook on Monday, March 2.
The presenter further added that he would issue an apology to all SDA faithful on Saturday, March 7, after attending a service at Maxwell Church, Nairobi. He confessed to having anger issues, stating that he would seek help to deal with his temper.
"I was angry and I will attend Maxwell SDA and issue an apology to all Adventists next Saturday. I hope you guys find it in you to forgive me for the pain I've caused I know it's hard but I humbly seek your forgiveness.
"I was just an angry young man seeking answers, I will seek help to deal with all the anger issues am going through. May God forgive me for speaking against His anointed," Kimani pleaded.
On Saturday, February 28, Mbugua claimed that he had read widely including all Ellen G White's books and concluded that the founder was a fraud.
"I have read every single Ellen book... and I will show you that she is a fraud. Your life would be easier if you were out in a Sunday worship service. In fact, I think those people are happy.
"Here is how you know it is a cult. If you don't read, the people who read the most get indoctrinated the most and get so deep in the cult they never see the other side and that was who I was. I was very deep into it. I was ordained as an elder at the age of 16 at Karura Adventist," he remarked.
The anchor is set to wed after he proposed to his girlfriend in February 2020. While speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, on February 4, stated that he had gone to his fiancée's (Michelle) workplace, who was at the time unwell when he proposed.
"She was at work, it was in the morning and it was raining, I went to her office and took some documents that she was supposed to sign.
"She was in a lot of pain and I told her, look I am going to be here forever and I am always going to be here for you. Then I asked her if she could marry me," Kimani continued.
