I clarify as follows:1. The ELC Court at Nyeri did not have powers to vacate orders of a Court of a horizontal Jurisdiction at the Interlocutory Stage. 2. I clarify that the extant orders are those that this Court granted on 12/08/2015. 3. On 12/08/2015, when the extant orders were issued the Court noted that the Plaintiff had completely refused and failed to abide by this Court's orders issued on 7/7/2015 and as a result had not complied with Order 11 of the Civil Procedure Rules within the time stipulated by the Court Order. As a result the defendant could not comply with order 11 of the Civil Procedure Rules. It is so clarified and ordered.
