Holding

The applicant's application for stay of execution of the judgment and orders is dismissed. The applicant has not satisfied the nugatory aspect of the appeal.

Facts

The applicant, Michael Chesikaw, was accused of misappropriating funds from Par Aid, a community-based organization, which received a grant from the National Aids Control Council (NACC). The High Court found him guilty and ordered him to pay back the Kshs 7,500,000/= plus interest. The applicant appealed the decision.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant's appeal is arguable and has a high chance of success.
  2. Whether the applicant will face undue hardship if the appeal fails and the judgment is enforced.

Reasoning

The court found that the applicant did not demonstrate the respondent's inability to pay the amount should the appeal succeed, and the applicant's financial position was not sufficiently detailed.
