REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA

AT KIAMBU

ADOPTION CAUSE NO. 28 OF 2018

IN THE MATTER OF THE CHILDREN’S ACT

IN THE  MATTER OF ADOPTION APPLICATION OF BABY H aka CKN

BY

WNK........................................1ST APPLICANT

RWM.....................................2ND APPLICANT

RULING

1. By this Court’s judgment dated 12th June, 2020, this Court granted the applicants orders for the adoption of baby H who was to be named CKN.  The Registrar was ordered by that judgment, to enter the adoption in the adopted Children’s Register.

2. The applicants have experienced difficulties in that registration in the adopted Children’s Register because WNK’s occupation was wrongly reflected in the adoption order issued following the said judgment. WNK’s occupation was reflected as a businessman and not as his correct occupation, electrical technician.

3. Before court, is a notice of motion dated 27th October, 2021 seeking that the adoption order be rectified to reflect the correct occupation of WNK.

4. The order sought is in the best interest of the child because it will enable the Registrar General to enter the adoption of the child in the register.  Accordingly, I order that the schedule of the adoption order be amended as sought in the Notice of Motion dated 27th October, 2021.

5. Orders accordingly.
