MARGARET NAMATAKA OUYO……….………..PETITIONERS

RULING

The two administrators of the estate of the late Jared Ouyo Murambi sought in their Summons dated 3. 4.2007 rectification of Grant.  The mistake sought to be corrected in the grant seems to have been genuinely made.  Instead of indicating title No. Butsotso/Indangalasia/848 they indicated title No. Butsotso/Indangalasia/851 as the property left by the deceased.  I have perused the Summons and the supporting affidavit sworn by both  Administratrices on 3-4-2007.  It is in the interest of justice that the error be rectified as it seems genuine on the face of it.  The application is allowed.  It is so ordered.

Delivered at Kakamega this 22nd  day of November, 2007.
