AL Miller, the clergyman who was found in the company of extradited former strongman Christopher 'Dudus' Coke, pleaded not guilty when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court this morning.

Miller, who is charged with harbouring a fugitive and perverting the course of justice, had his $200,000 bail extended.

He was ordered senior Magistrate, Judith Pusey to return to court on July 29.

Miller yesterday took leave of absence from his position as head of the National Transformation Committee.

He was instrumental in the handing over of Coke's siblings Leighton 'Livity' Coke and Janet Coke.
