Holding

The court denied the application for a temporary injunction and instead ordered that no further developments be carried out on the suit land, no demolitions be carried out, and costs be awarded to Kireru.

Facts

Joshua M’mwirebua Kireru claimed that Kathiari Mungania illegally started construction on his land in Mwangaza C3, Isiolo County, and was trying to register the land in his name. Kireru alleged that Mungania assaulted his son and that Mungania was attempting to dispossess him of the land.

Issues

  1. Whether to grant a temporary injunction restraining Mungania from interfering with Kireru's land
  2. Whether to maintain the status quo pending the hearing and determination of the case

Reasoning

Outcome

Denied

Orders

  • No further developments are to be carried out on the suit land
  • No demolitions are to be carried out on the suit land
  • Costs in the cause

Remedies

  • Maintenance of status quo
