[Photo: nation.co.ke]Extradited London-based Televangelist Gilbert Deya of the 'miracle babies' has decried the 'very deplorable conditions' at the Kamiti Maximum Prison.He has been held there since last week awaiting the determination of his bail application.Through his lawyer John Swaka, Deya said on Thursday that he is being held in a single cell that is extremely dirty and unfit for human habitation, according to the Star.Deya said that the prison warders have given him a bucket to relieve himself in, 'which is very unhygienic and was not part of the agreement for his extradition'.The court heard the cell does not meet the standards of Article 3 of the European Commission, which was stipulated by the High Court in London when he was being extradited last week.Swaka said one of the conditions that the UK court and Kenya agreed on upon Deya’s extradition was that he would be held in a dignified condition.He said Kenya allegedly assured the court that Kamiti has a special place where he will be comfortable.However, State counsel Nicholas Mutuku denied the cell is dirty and said it meets the threshold required by law.Chief magistrate Francis Andayi ruled that it is important that the cell Deya is allocated at Kamiti meets the conditions given by the British court.Andayi, nevertheless, said it is hard for him to determine whether the conditions are met or not unless a representative from Kamiti comes to court and sheds light on the issue.The billionaire televangelist in Kenyan standards was in court for his bond ruling, but the magistrate said he was still working on the matter until Friday (today) morning when he will deliver his ruling on whether the bishop will be released on bond or not.The televangelist was charged last week with five counts of stealing children on diverse dates between 2002 and 2004 at Mountain View Estate.
