Kamuyu & Co. Advocates despite being served as endured in the affidavit of service of Aggrey Mutiemberi Asumba that was sworn and filled on 13 th May, 2019. I have noted that the said Advocates accepted service of the hearing notice under protest on the grounds that their clients collected files from them and they do not know their whereabouts.

Accordingly, having looked at the Plaintiff’s Notice of Motion Application dated and filed on 9 th May, 2019 and the supporting affidavit of Azim A. Sameja abd all the enclosures therein and having heard his Counsel and having noted that the said Application is unopposed as no response has been filed thereto by the Defendants, I hereby allow the same in terms of prayer No. (2) therein.
