Holding

We dismiss the application with costs.

Facts

The Court of Appeal at Eldoret had declared the registration and transfer of LR. NO. 5707/6 in favour of the respondent illegal, ordered the cancellation of the respondent's title to the suit property, eviction, and a permanent injunction against trespassing and mesne profits.

Issues

  1. The prayer for stay of execution was misguided.
  2. The application was bereft of merit.

Reasoning

The Court set aside the orders, satisfied with evidence that the suit property was sold to Kaitet, who then sold it to the respondent. The Court found the respondent was a bona fide purchaser for value and the prayer for cancellation was statute-barred.

Outcome

Application dismissed with costs
