I have considered the affidavit evidence and counsel's submissions in this matter. I find that there has been a notice of appeal dated 19 th January, 2015. The appeal that is intended discloses an arguable appeal. Furthermore, if the order sought is not granted the appeal may be rendered nugatory. I therefore grant the orders sought pending the hearing of this application inter-parties. The ex-parte order will be in force for 14 days in terms of prayer numbers 2 and 3 of the notice of motion. RULING DATED, SIGNED and DELIVERED in open court at EMBU this 5 th day of MARCH,2015 In the presence Mr. Momanyi holding brief for Mr. Kitheka and Mr Mithega Kariuki for the first Respondent Court clerk Mr Muriithi J.M. BWONWONGA JUDGE
