He went ahead to explain the divorce saying,

People should know Deya is a divorcee now and I don't have a wife but I will re-marry. When I was in the United Kingdom, where I stayed for 15 years, I had a romantic relationship with another woman because I had lust every time i saw women walking in the streets and by that time, my ex-wife was back home [Kenya].

Adding,

I even introduced the woman to church but when I wanted to go back to Kenya, trouble started because of her demands, She didn't want me to go back until I had married her and because of that we broke up. She even lied that I raped her.

The man of God was later jailed and he blames his failed relationship on distance and jail time.

Deya explained how he was jailed at Kamiti prison over the miracle babies scandal and after he was released, his wife didn't want him back.

I then decided to get another woman here in Kenya and as you know here in Kenyan women are like groundnuts (many) even the government

allows one to have even 50.

Well, Deya, who has been dumped thrice says he has finally found a woman and he is ready to settle down with.

I've already engaged someone because I don't want to be a sinner again. I don't want to be single again so that mwanamke akipita naangalia matako yake [when a woman passes

near me I look at her behinds].

He added,

Wanaume macho yao inawatesa, hata kama umeokoka macho hayaokoki. [Men have a problem, even if they are saved, their eyes aren't, they will still ogle at women].

Deya's wife-to-be is 50 years younger than him. He told Massawe,

She is so beautiful. We met at my church here in Nairobi. She is 27 years old.

That's in the line of my liking. I'm old and if I marry someone old we will be two old people so who will cook food?

He added,

I've already met her parents and I'm going to pay dowry soon.
