MERCY WANGARI WANJIRA....................................................APPLICANT

V E R S U S

RICHARD THITHI MWANGI...................................................RESPONDENT

R U L I N G

I have considered the application dated 1st December, 2009, as well as documents filed, and the submissions of counsel for the applicant. The respondent RICHARD THUTHI MWANGI neither filed a response to the application, nor did he appear on the hearing date. He is said (as an administrator) to be very difficult in progressing the letters of administration granted herein towards confirmation. In the circumstances, I am of the view that the application is merited.

I therefore allow the summons dated 1st December 2009 and grant prayer 2 therein. Costs will be in the cause.

Dated and delivered at Nairobi this 3rd day of March, 2010.

George Dulu

Judge.
