Holding

The Appellant's appeal is dismissed. The trial court's Judgment was upheld, and the Appellant is ordered to vacate the land LR No. Kajiado/Kisaju/3584.

Facts

The Appellant (David Kimani Chege) appeals against a Judgment of Senior Resident Magistrate Hon. B. M. Cheloti, who entered Judgment in favor of the Respondent (Iddi Shaban Oniale) in Kajiado CMCC No. 20 of 2019. The Judgment ordered eviction of the Appellant from land LR No. Kajiado/Kisaju/3584.

Issues

  1. Whether the evidence of the parties was considered before the entry of Judgment in this matter.
  2. Whether the Appeal is merited.
  3. Who should bear the costs of the Appeal.

Reasoning

The trial court found the Respondent to have proved his case beyond a balance of probabilities and hence the rightful owner of the suit property by virtue of holding a valid Title Deed to LR No. Kajiado/Kisaju/3584.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed

Orders

  • Order of eviction of the defendant from LR No. Kajiado/Kisaju/3584.
