Holding

The application is dismissed with costs to the 3rd respondent.

Facts

The applicant, Monica Wanjiku Miringu, sought to quash an award made by the Kajiado District Land Disputes Tribunal and prohibit the Senior Resident Magistrate's Court from proceeding with the award. The applicant claimed that the tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear the dispute and that the award was null and void.

Issues

  1. Jurisdiction of the tribunal
  2. Validity of the award
  3. Locus standi of the applicant

Reasoning

The court found that the applicant lacked capacity to sue and maintain the proceedings against the respondents in relation to land parcel Ngong/Ngong/2014. The court also determined that the size of the access road was irrelevant and that a resurvey was not necessary.

Outcome

Dismissed
