appearing for Respondents. After perusal of the file I was not able to see the orders from the Court of Appeal dismissing any appeals filed there as indicated by M/s Makori. I have however noted that the original Ruling which gave rise to the consolidated Appeals in the High Court was by one N.H. Oundu. I do not know if he is the same person practicing as Oundu & Makori & Associates or the one who was with Indeche & Associates. In brief I direct that Mr. Wandati files a formal application so that an adequate response is filed by the Respondents’ Counsel. The application should be filed and served within 21 days. Counsels should also address the issue of the deceased parties as soon as possible. DATED, SIGNED AND DELIVERED AT EMBU THIS 7TH DAY OF JUNE 2012 H.I.
