Holding

The court allows the chamber summons and orders that Maureen Kemunto Miruka be restrained from trespassing on the suit land until the main case is heard and determined.

Facts

Rosalia Mongina Mwebi applied for an injunction to restrain Maureen Kemunto Miruka from trespassing on her land (LR NO. KISII/WEST KITUTU/BOGEKA/3680).
