What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This is a brief judgment of the Court of Appeal at Kisumu (Mumbi Ngugi, Luka Kimaru and J. M. Mativo, JJA) dismissing an appeal by Fredrick Wafula Juma against a ruling of the High Court at Busia (Karanjah, J) dated 23rd June 2022 in High Court Petition No. 2A of 2022. The respondents were Jubilee Party of Kenya, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, and Nobert Omanyo Wabwire. The court recorded that it had considered the memorandum of appeal, the written submissions of the parties, oral highlights by counsel for all parties, and the authorities cited. Without setting out any reasoning, the court concluded that the appeal was entirely without merit and dismissed it with costs to the respondents. Notably, the court stated that the reasons for its decision would be given on 5th August 2022; those reasons are not contained in this document. The judgment therefore records the disposition but not the legal basis for it, and no issues for determination, holdings, or authorities are set out. The decision below was not disturbed, and the appeal failed in its entirety.
