Holding
The court directs the advocates of the parties to immediately contact the Garnishee bank to clarify the details of the joint interest-bearing account and to transfer the Shs. 75 million into the account without any further delay.
Facts
The Plaintiff, Ashford Muriuki Mugwuku, sought to deposit Shs. 75 million in an interest-bearing account, but there was a disagreement between the Plaintiff and the Garnishee (the Defendant) regarding the interpretation of the court's order.
Issues

- Whether the garnishee bank should hold the Shs. 75 million in a separate account
Reasoning
The court's order was made without knowing the timing of the main sum of monies being disbursed, hence the intention was for the Garnishee to establish a separate account for the advocates.
Outcome
Appeal dismissed
Orders
- The advocates of the parties shall immediately contact the Garnishee bank to clarify the details of the joint interest-bearing account and to transfer the Shs. 75 million into the account without any further delay.
