REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT AT KAKAMEGA Civil Case 483 of 1993 STANLEY MAYODI........................................................................PLAINTIFF/APPLICANT VERSUS JAMES SAKWA MUKOLWE...............................................DEFENDANT/RESPONDENT RULING The Notice of Motion application dated 24.11.2011 seeks orders that the decree granted herein be amended and the annexed amended decree be deemed as duly amended upon payment of requisite court fees. The application is supported by the supporting affidavit of STANLEY MAYODI, the Plaintiff/Applicant. The main ground for the application is that the decree herein has errors arising out of an accidental omission. That by genuine mistake, the applicant quoted title No. Butsotso/Shikoti/1859 instead of No. Butsotso/Shikoti/4464. That the two aforestated land parcels are adjacent and they share a boundary and when the surveyor went to execute the court decree, it was found that the applicant occupied land parcel NO. BUTSOTSO/SHIKOTI/4464. There was no attendance on the Respondents part although service had been duly effected. No papers were filed in opposition to the application. I have considered the application. The judgment herein which was delivered on 4th November, 1998 relates to land parcel No. Butsotso/Shikoti/1859. The proposed amended decree is therefore not in tandem with the judgment. The proposed decree herein has no legs to stand on. If there is any solution to the applicant’s problem, same does not lie in the mere amendment of the decree. With the foregoing, the application fails with costs. Delivered, dated and signed at Kakamega this 22nd day of March, 2012 B. THURANIRA JADEN JUDGE
