PLAINTIFF AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ......................................................... 1ST DEFENDANT COMMISSIONER OF LANDS ....................................................... 2ND DEFENDANT CHIEF LAND REGISTRAR ........................................................... 3RD DEFENDANT VERONICA WAIRIMU NGANGA ............................................... 4TH DEFENDANT DOMINIC NG’ETHE NGANGA ................................................... 5TH DEFENDANT AND NATIONAL BANK OF KENYA LIMITED ........................... INTERESTED PARTY RULING 1. I have considered the application dated 18.10.2023. The same is not being opposed by the Interested Party. The 4th and 5th defendants were served and they seek more time to le their Replying Adavit which is apparently in draft form. 2. I have however considered that the festive season is just round the corner hence any prosecution of the application would spill over to next year in the event that the 4th and 5th defendants are given time to le and serve a Replying Adavit. In the interest of time & justice, and considering the nature of the application and the orders given in the judgment dated 18.9.2023, I hereby grant a stay of execution of the judgment upto 31.1.2024. Each party is to bear their own costs of the application. https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/keelc/2023/22474/eng@2023-12-14 1
