1. THAT this Honourable Court do order and direct the District Land Surveyor Meru North District (Nyambene) and the Land Registrar to show the Applicant on the ground the boundaries of land parcel No. ATHING'A /ATHANJA/6903 Athing'a Athanja land Adjudication Section under the security of the Officer commanding Station Tigania Police Station.

2. That this Honorable Court do issue such further or better orders as will meet the ends of justice.

3. That the costs of this application be provided for.

2. There is also Supporting Affidavit of one Evangeline Mwendwa , where she states:-

1. That she is the Applicant/Plaintiff herein hence competent to make and swear this affidavit

2. That Judgment was issued in her favour by this Honourable Court on 24th September, 2014 and a decree issued on 13th November, 2014 as per copy of the decree.

3. That  the notice of entry of judgment was served  upon defendants.

4. That  the decree  was also served  upon the O.C.S. Tigania Police Station  but he could not evict the Defendant's as he was not able to ascertain the exact location and boundaries of the suitland.

5. That  upon visiting the District Surveyor , Meru North (Nyambene) and the Land Registrar's office for purposes of showing them  the boundaries, the officer indicated that he could not do so unless  ordered by the Court.

6. That she prays that the District Lands Surveyor Meru North District be directed and ordered to show her and the O.C.S Tigania Police Station the exact location and boundaries of Land Parcel No. Athing'a /Athanja/6903 Adjudication Section for purposes of executing the decree dated 13th November, 2014 .

3. The application is almost similar to an earlier one of 17/09/15. In the present application, Applicant wants the land surveyor and Land Registrar to be the  implementing Officers. I find that the application is merited.  The application is allowed but plaintiff is to meet the costs  appertaining to the implementation of the Court Order.
