IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT MURANG’A ADOPTION CASE NO 2B OF 2014 1. DWK 2. TNN………………..………………………..APPLICANTS IN THE MATTER OF BABY JKW (alias PS) RULING 1. This ruling concerns appointment of guardian ad litem pending hearing of the originating summons for an adoption order in respect of Baby PS (alias JKW). 2. The application for appointment of guardian ad litem is by chamber summons dated 21st November 2014. Two persons are sought to be appointed guardians ad litem. They are JMK and AN. They have both given their written consent for such appointment. 3. I am satisfied that both JMK and AN are suitable persons to be appointed guardians ad litem for the Baby herein sought to be adopted. Although the Children’s Act does not expressly make provision for appointment of two guardians ad litem, it also does not prohibit the same. I find nothing wrong with appointment of two guardians ad litem rather than one. 4. In the circumstances JMK and AN are hereby appointed joint guardians ad litem for Baby PS (alias JKW). It is so ordered. DATED AND SIGNED AT MURANG’A THIS 16TH APRIL 2015 H P G WAWERU JUDGE DELIVERED THIS 17TH DAY OF APRIL 2015
