Holding

An injunction is issued restraining the defendant from interfering with the plaintiff's use of the land.

Facts

The plaintiff, Alice Chemutai Konini, was allocated land parcel Nakuru/Nessuit/982. The defendant, Regina Chelangat Konini, claimed to have been living on the land since 1998 and was in possession of a portion of the land. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant interfered with her use of the land in 2016-2017.

Issues

  1. Whether the plaintiff has a prima facie case to establish that the defendant is interfering with her use of the land.
  2. Whether the plaintiff's use of the land is irreparably injured by the defendant's interference.

Reasoning

The court found that the plaintiff established a prima facie case and that irreparable injury would result from the defendant's interference. Damages were not an adequate remedy.
