Facts
Susan Nyokabi Mwangi Kingori claimed to be the rightful owner of three plots in Ofafa, Maringo, Nairobi, which were allocated to her by Nairobi City Council in 1996. The City Council issued leases to Kingori in 1996, but the plots were later encroached upon by Christopher Maina Chege and Peter Kung'u Ng'anga. Kingori filed a suit against the respondents, alleging fraud and wrongful occupation.
Issues
- Whether the appellant is the rightful owner of the properties
- Whether the respondents committed fraud in obtaining the leases
Reasoning
The court found that the appellant failed to prove fraud and that the allotment of the properties to her was a matter not before the court. The court also noted that the appellant did not summon officials from the respondent to testify about the leases in her favor.
Outcome
Appeal dismissed
