Holding

The plaintiff's claim is dismissed with costs to the defendants.

Facts

The plaintiff, Kiptoo Arap Chirchir, claimed ownership of 10.3 acres of land known as Kapkoi West farm. He alleged that the defendants entered the property without his consent and took possession of it, depriving him of its use and enjoyment. The defendants argued that the plaintiff's entitlement to the land was 20.2 acres, and the extra 10.3 acres were awarded to them.

Issues

  1. Ownership of 10.3 acres of land

Reasoning

The plaintiff's entitlement to the land was 20.2 acres, as confirmed by the area list and the consent of the Land Control Board. The extra 10.3 acres were distributed among the defendants to compensate for their respective shortfalls.
