- Distribution of specific plots
Reasoning
The judge agreed with the 2nd Protestor that since all beneficiaries are adults, there is no need for anyone to hold any entitlement from the estate in trust for the other. Two acres should be excised from L.R. No. Mahiga/Munyange/65, leaving the balance of 10 acres to be shared equally between the two houses.
