(c) THAT, the costs of this application shall be provided for. The application is based on the grounds that the memos of the deceased be rectified from Kipkurgat Kaptibin to read Kurgat Kiptiani Teguroi. It was urged, by the applicant, that the names used during the application for death certificate were Kipkurgat Kaptibin while the title deed of parcel number Cherangani/Kapcherop/1766 read Kurgat Kiptian Teguroi. Hence there is need for rectification to facilitate the finalisation of the distribution exercise. I have secured the evidence in support of the application and is of the view that there is need for rectification. Accordingly, the names of the deceased shall be rectified to read Kurgat Kiptian Teguroi. There shall be no orders as to cost. Dated and delivered at Kitale this 1st day of July, 2010. N.R.O. OMBIJA. JUDGE. N/A for Applicant.
