After perusing the Court file, I agree that the plaintiffs filed this suit on 6.7.2012 and thereafter completely abandoned it.

It is so ordered. Delivered in Open Court at Meru this 18th Day of November, 2014 in the presence of: Cc. Daniel/Lilian Miss Kiome h/b Gikunda Anampiu for Defendant P. M. NJOROGE JUDGE
