Holding

The application is dismissed for want of merit.

Facts

The applicant, Serah Nduta Ndung'u, filed an application seeking a stay of execution of a judgment rendered by the court on March 14, 2024, which ordered her to pay Kshs. 2,383,938.20 to the claimant, Geoffrey Kagwanja. The applicant has filed an appeal against the judgment.

Issues

  2. Whether the applicant has met the conditions for granting an order of stay of execution.

Outcome
