JOSEPH’S HIGH SCHOOL, GITHUNGURI……………………………………………….. 1ST RESPONDENT THE CHAIRMAN BOARD OF GOVERNONRS ST. JOSEPH’S HIGH SCHOOL, GITHUNGURI………………... 2ND RESPONDENT RULING Having considered the Chamber Summons dated 12th June, 2009, documents filed and submissions of counsel for the applicants, I am of the view that the applicants have demonstrated an arguable case. I will grant leave to file judicial review proceedings. I have been requested to grant a stay of the decision of the 1st respondent. With the facts placed before me at this threshold stage, I am not particularly sure what effect a stay will have, as counsel for the applicants has disclosed that the 1st applicant has been suspended a number of times. I will not grant a stay. Consequently, I order as follows:-
