In summary

  • Deya told trial magistrate Robinson Ondieki that he does not even know the children he is accused of stealing
  • He added that same charges being preferred against him are the same as his wife Mary Deya who was charged before Kibera Court and she was subsequently acquitted

Television Evangelistic Gilbert Deya has taken a swipe at the prosecution for allegedly stealing five children.

Deya told trial magistrate Robinson Ondieki that he does not even know the children he is accused of stealing.

He testified  during  his re-examination  by his lawyer  John  Swaka, that the prosecution  did not produce children  as evidence  or bring  their  parents  to justify  the criminal case.

“There no children or woman who has come to testify  that I have  stolen  her child, the names of the children  are fictitious  to me…I would  like to know  the identity  of the children ” Bishop Deya  told  court.

He said that during the time of the alleged stealing of children he was in United Kingdom. Allegations that children were found in his Mountain View house were not proved by prosecution by way of evidence.

Deya added that same charges being preferred against him are the same as his wife Mary Deya who was charged before Kibera Court and she was subsequently acquitted.

The televangelist testified that the prosecution did obtained extradition order and he immediately filed an application in UK High Court and the order was halted.

He told court that when the order was set aside, the government presented fake documents and the court ordered his extradition in 2017.

Divorced

He said that he has since divorce his wife Mary Deya, but confirmed that he has two children David Deya and Sarah  Deya who are living  in UK.

“I don’t want the name Mary be mentioned, she is not my wife… We have divorced and she no longer carries my name, we have two children but as for now she is not my wife.

After the close of cross examination and re-examination  the defence and prosecution  were given  each seven  days to put in their  written  submission and the matter   be mentioned on 31st April 2023 to  confirm  compliance.
