DANIEL KAHARA WAKIGO V. SALOME WANGUI CHEGE & PUBLIC TRUSTEE

RULING

The motion dated 25th September 2020 is brought under Rule 99(1) of the Court of Appeal Rules. The applicant also cites provisions of Order 24 of the Civil Procedure Rules. The latter rules are of no application to the matter at hand and I shall duly ignore them.

The motion seeks to substitute the appellant Daniel Kahara Wakigo who expired on 5th May 2020 as attested to by the Certificate of Death annexed to the supporting affidavit of the applicant Naomi Wairimu Kahara, the appellant’s widow.

The motion having been brought in timely fashion, and being satisfied that the widow Naomi Wairimu Kahara, who holds a limited grant of letters of administration issued to her in Nairobi HCF P&A/E770/2020, is the legal representative of the appellant, I allow the motion with no orders as to costs.

Orders accordingly.
