RULING

1. This application has been brought to court under sections 3 and 3A of the Civil Procedure Act. It is dated

27

th

January, 2021

and seeks orders that:

A. The application be heard on priority basis.

B. The honourable court be pleased to review/vary the order dated 14.10.2020 by including the resultants numbers of the sub-division of L.R. No. Muthambi/L-Kandugu/87 which are 1408, 1409, 1410, 1411, 1944, 1945 and 1946.

2. It is supported by the affidavit of Francis Kaburu sworn on

27

th

January,

2021

and has the following grounds:

1.The

Land Registrar is unable to implement the court order because the order does not mention the numbers of the sub-divided parcels to be cancelled and only names number 87 which appears in the registered one of the parcels (sic).

2.The

error in omitting the said parcels is regrettable.

3. The court notes that the application is meant to facilitate the implementation of an order of this court. The 3

rd

applicant, Francis Kaburu, asked the court to allow the application.

4. In the circumstances, I allow prayer 2 in the application and award no costs.
