[EX-TEMPORE] 1. This Matter was scheduled for Judgment today. The judgment date was fixed in February 2026. 2. On 29/6/2026, the 17 interested parties brought an application dated 29/6/2026 seeking leave to file and serve written submissions. This was a change of mind on their part because on 19/2/2026, they informed the Court that they were adopting the position of the ex-parte applicants. 3. The application is not opposed. In the absence of any opposition to the application, the Court will allow it. It is so ordered. 4. Inevitably, the Court will need to look at and consider the said submissions before rendering a Judgment in the Matter. Consequently, today’s judgment delivery is rescheduled to Tuesday 21/7/2026 at 3.00 p.m. to enable the Court consider the interested parties’ submissions. 5. The interested parties will bear costs of the application. DATED, SIGNED AND DELIVERED AT MERU THIS 20TH DAY OF JULY, 2026.
