Holding
The defendants are not the registered owners of LR8569 and LR8569/5. The parcel of land LR.14847 is not the same as LR 8569/5.
Facts
The land parcel LR No.8569/5 was originally granted to Paris John Savage for agricultural purposes. It was later transferred to Kahawa Quarries Ltd, then to M/s Humphrey Chemicals (EA), and finally to M/s Pecon Ltd. The defendants, Ndorongo Gatheru and Peter Kungu Kahari, claimed a purchaser's interest in the land.
Issues
- Are the defendants the registered owners of LR8569 and or 14847 Kahawa?
- Is the parcel of land LR.14847 the same as LR 8569/5?
Reasoning
The court found that the defendants never acquired the land through registration and that the land was not the same parcel as LR 8569/5.
