RULING

I have perused the papers filed in supporting the petition for special limited grant letters of administration intestate. I have also heard counsel for the petition in his arguments in support of the petition. It would appear that there is urgent need for funds to accomplish a number of outstanding tasks. The family is likely to be exposed to hardship should they be unable to access funds as a matter of urgency. It seems that there is some money sitting in an account with Equity Bank. To ease the burden on the Family it may be prudent to facilitate access to these funds pending the hearing of a full grant.

Having taken everything into account, I direct that a special limited grant be made to the petitioner. Loise Wacheke Gategwa to the extent set out in the undated petition filed in court on the 19th December 2012.
