Holding
The applicant's notice of motion is dismissed with costs to the respondent and interested party
Facts
In 2002, the applicant borrowed money from the late husband of the interested party and agreed to sell him part of his land for Kshs.90,000. The applicant later filed a complaint which the committee ruled in favor of the interested party. The applicant then appealed to the Minister, who upheld the decision.
Issues
- Whether the applicant has met the threshold for the grant of the orders he is seeking
- Whether the decision of the Deputy County Commissioner was tainted with illegality, irrationality, or procedural impropriety
Reasoning
The Minister had jurisdiction to hear the appeal, the decision was fair, expedient, and procedurally fair, and there was no procedural impropriety. The applicant's attempt to introduce an agreement from 1998 was not placed before the appeal.
