Holding

The application is granted a stay of execution for six months, with a sunset provision, and the applicant is required to file an appeal within that period.

Facts

The application seeks to stay the execution of a ruling made in 2007 by Deputy County Commissioner Meru South Sub County, which was later appealed to the Minister.
