The court dismisses the application for interim relief due to lack of merit and advises parties to file their preferred mode of distribution.

Facts

Caudesia Wambeti Njeru, the applicant, seeks an order for the estate to pay her Kshs 50,000 monthly from a rental building developed by her and the deceased. The respondent, Rosemary Kina Njeru, opposes the application, claiming the rental proceeds should be deposited in a joint account.

Issues

  • Interim relief for the applicant's financial needs
  • Distribution of rental proceeds from the deceased's property

Reasoning

The court finds the application lacks merit and is an abuse of the court process. The rental properties were developed by both parties, and the respondent claims contribution to their development. The court advises parties to file their preferred mode of distribution.
