Samuel Mauto Onyango the petitioner herein filed summons for rectification of grant dated 19.8.24 seeking rectification of grant to correct clerical errors on acreage of beneficiaries. 2. However, upon perusal of the supporting affidavit he seeks to Substitute a beneficiary one Naftali with Lilian and also to change distribution, for instance land parcel Wanjare /Bokeire /1780 and 1781 was to be inherited by all the beneficiaries but now they propose that it goes to Charles Nyakwara Nyagwenia as a whole. 3.
