On 19/6/13, Mr Ondieki, the advocate for the applicant's prayed that the application be allowed because despite the fact that all the parties including the interested party had been properly served, the Interested Party was not in Court. He opined that perhaps the Interested Party was not interested in defending the application. I have considered all the circumstances germane to the oral application made by Mr Odieki for the exparte applicant. I will, however, not allow the application for the following reasons;

1. When the oral application was made it was during a mention and not a hearing session. 2. Mr Kieti for the respondent had indicated, on the same day, that there was an attempt in the offing to have the matter settled out of court. In the circumstances, I disallow the oral application.
