Holding

Rono has not established his late father was the registered proprietor of the suit property.

Facts

Joseph Rono claims his late father, Toroitich Kiprono, purchased the land in 1974. Rono was issued Letters of Administration over his father's estate in 2023, but the Defendant has been evicting him from the land.

Issues

  1. Whether Rono has established his late father was the registered proprietor of the suit property.
  2. Whether Rono is entitled to the orders sought.

Reasoning

Rono did not produce any document proving his late father was the registered proprietor. The land is registered under William Kiprotich Sengwer, who holds the title deed.

Outcome

Plaintiff's claims denied.
