[Photo: Nairobi News]A Nairobi court has ordered that the case of controversial televangelist Gilbert Deya of the 'miracle babies' infamy be listened on a day-to-day basis beginning Monday (yesterday).Deya's Lawyer Fred Ngatia asked the court not to allow the prosecution the opportunity to keep his client in remand by delaying the case further, reports the Star.In his ruling, chief magistrate Francis Andayi said he found it mischievous that the prosecution never raised the concerns on the numerous occasions the case was mentioned.Andayi warned that the case could not be delayed any further as the High Court had directed that the case is heard and determined in 120 days.State counsel Nicholas Mutuku had asked the court to interpret its ruling on hearing dates. He said the court had said the case should be heard on daily from October 9. Mutuku, therefore, wanted interpretation on whether the case will be heard during weekends and public holidays, including election day.Deya was charged in August with stealing five children under the age of 14 after he was extradited from the UK where he is a preacher. The televangelist had managed to escape many extradition attempts through court injunction at the UK courts.
