Governor Kericho County & County Government of Kericho v Paul Kibiegon Chirchir [2019] KEHC 8159 (KLR)

REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA

AT KERICHO

CIVIL SUIT NO.14 OF 2018

GOVERNOR KERICHO COUNTY......................1ST PLAINTIFF/APPLICANT

COUNTY GOVERNMENT OF KERICHO........2ND PLAINTIFF/APPLICANT

VERSUS

PAUL KIBIEGON CHIRCHIR.........................................................DEFENDANT

RULING

1. In this matter in which the file was placed before me on 25/3/2019 without any indication on record whether it had been fixed for mention on that day, and whether the dependant was aware of the date.  Counsel for the plaintiffs/applicants Ms. Chepkurui asked this court to extend the interim orders of the court issued on 13th December 2018, pending the hearing of their application dated 11th December 2018.

2. Counsel for the applicant also informed this court that the defendant had already fixed the application for hearing on 3rd June 2019 and emphasized that there was need to extend the interim orders, as the same had now lapsed, or if not extended the operations of the County Government of Kericho would be hampered.

3.  Having considered the request of counsel, and perused the record, I will not grant the orders of extension of interim orders requested as they are superfluous, since on the 30th January 2019 this court ordered as follows:

“Interim orders issued to remain in force pending hearing and determination of the application.”

4.  The application dated 11th December 2019 will thus be heard on 3rd June 2019 and all parties, counsel should attend the hearing of the application.

Dated, delivered and signed this 26th day of April 2019.
