RULING

The Applicant, W.R, seeks an order that he be appointed the guardian Ad Litem of M.K.A.T who has been undergoing treatment in Kericho District Hospital since 2008 on account impaired hearing and mental imbalance. In his application dated 28th May, 2010, the Applicant has furnished copies of medical records of M.K.A.T which show that the allegation relating to the condition of the latter appears to be true.

I have perused the application and I am satisfied that the order sought is in the interest of justice as it will safeguard M.K.A.T in the suit No. Kericho H.C. Civil Case No. 12 of 2007 in which the latter is named as a Defendant. The Applicant states that he is his cousin, hence the interest.

I allow the application dated 28th May, 2010 and grant the order sought in prayer (a). I make no order as to costs.

DATED at KERICHO this 6th day of December, 2010
