A Nairobi court will today mention a case where controversial Bishop Gilbert Juma Deya is charged with stealing five children.
Deya's lawyer John Swaka will file his submissions and prosecution before Milimani Magistrate Robison Ondieki.
In early May, Deya told the court the state fabricated the theft of five children case against him without evidence.
While defending himself from the allegation, the preacher who was on August 4, 2017, deported to Kenya from the UK to face child theft charges, denied all the five counts levelled against him.
At the same time, Deya led by his lawyer asked the court to acquit him for lack of evidence saying he was maliciously charged with the same offence that his wife was charged with and acquitted for lack of evidence.
While being cross-examined by senior state counsel Nicholas Mutuku, the preacher told the court that he is being persecuted by the state.
He denied having stolen the children, adding that he was in the UK when the alleged offences were said to have been committed.
The bishop denied having given any instruction to anybody to keep the five children in his Mountain View House No.226 in Nairobi.
He told Magistrate Ondieki that the charges against him were malicious and meant to tarnish his name as "a man of God".
Also at Kibera court, the Senior court admin will testify in a case in which a man is charged with stealing more than seven motor vehicles.
