C O U R T

I have read and considered this application. The children are orphans both their parents having died. The first Applicant JRN  is a parternal uncle to the children. Both the Applicants are lawfully married and are aged 31 and 32 years old respectively. They are employed and have means of taking care of the children. No member of JRNs’ family has any objection to the adoption order being made. Both JRNs’ parents who are also the grand parents of the children are in court and have raised no objection. The Children’s department has also recommended the adoption. In the circumstances I am satisfied that it is in the best interest of the children if an adoption order is made. I therefore order that JRNand YFOP-Nare hereby authorized to adopt the two childrenMRR and HNRO.

The children shall henceforth be known as MRR and HNRO. The Registrar of Births and Deaths is hereby directed to issue fresh birth certificates to the children in their present names. The Registrar General is also directed to make an entry of this adoption in the Adoption Register.

DATED and delivered this 6th day of April 2005. D.K. MARAGA JUDGE
