I have considered the chamber summons dated 27th February, 2024 and the affidavit in support thereof sworn by Margaret Okuta Adongo and Siprosa Atieno Adongo on even date and I note that the Applicants have deponed that their absence in court on 17th May 2023 was due to the indisposition of Margaret Okuta Adongo. I am persuaded by that explanation and I note that all the beneficiaries are present in court and are agreeable to the proposed mode of distribution once this court considers the prayer for reinstatement favourably. 2. Premised upon the reason aforestated I do hereby reinstate this petition and I do hereby order that the estate of the deceased be distributed as per paragraph 6 of the supporting affidavit of the Petitioners/ Applicants dated 27.2.2024. 3. A certificate of confirmation of grant to issue accordingly. 4. This file is marked as closed. DELIVERED, SIGNED AND DATED AT KISUMU THIS 21ST DAY OF MAY, 2024. MWANAISHA S.
