RULING

1. When the parties were to come to court on 17. 1.2018 to show cause why this suit should not be dismissed for want of prosecution in terms of order 17 rule 2(1) of the Civil Procedure Rules, they did not turn up.

2. I am satisfied that the apposite notice was properly issued.

3. I find that the parties have failed to show cause why this suit should not be dismissed for want of prosecution in terms of order 17 rule 2(1) of the Civil Procedure Rules. The suit, therefore, merits dismissal.

4. The suit is dismissed.

5. It is so ordered.

Delivered in open court at Chuka this 17th day of January, 2018 in the presence of:
