Holding

The court finds that the petitioner has not made a case for being granted the orders sought and dismisses the petition with no orders as it was undefended.

Facts

The petitioner, Edward Kigira Gachuiri, claimed that the Board of Governors, Githima Primary School (1st Respondent) compulsorily acquired his plots (plots Nos. 1117F and 1118F) without compensation, despite the plots being allocated to him by the company, Nakuru Mutukanio Farmers Limited.

Issues

  1. Whether the petitioner has a case for being granted the orders sought or any of them.

Reasoning

The evidence does not prove that the petitioner was allocated the disputed plots by the company and that the 1st respondent unlawfully took possession of them. The petitioner failed to link the ballots relied on by him to himself.

Outcome

Petition dismissed with no orders as it was undefended.
