But quite apart from proof, to expect a profit of 30m/= from an investment of UShs.5m/= is not only unrealistic, it is outright extortionate. That would have been a profit margin of 60 0%. Worse still that level of profit was expected to be made not in the long or even medium term \emdash but in a very short while; may be within a period of perhaps one to two months (i.e. the period it would take to dig and construct a pit latrine or make schoo l desks). It is not worthy in this regard that the Plaintiffs did not indicate the period of the investment. Therefore Court has no option but to conclude that the claim for a profit of UShs.30m/= was both speculative and fanciful. \line }{ \lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 \par }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 In the premises, Court hereby grants the Plaintiffs: \line }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 \par }\pard \s15\ql \fi720\li0\ri0\sb100\sa240\sbauto1\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\ipgp1\pararsid485935 {\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 (a) }{ \lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 \tab }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 their }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 claim for a refund of the Ushs.5}{ \lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 m/=. \line }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 \par }\pard \s15\ql \fi-720\li1440\ri0\sb100\sa240\sbauto1\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin1440\itap0\ipgp1\pararsid485935 {\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 (b) }{ \lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 \tab }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 Interest on that amount at the rate of 18% p.a. from 01/10/2001 until payment in full. \line }{ \lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 \par }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 (c) }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 \tab }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 Their claim for travel expenses to and from Kabibi, Mp}{ \lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 igi and the sites of the works -}{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 in an amount of UShs.500}{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935\charrsid13857959 , 000}{ \lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 /}{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 =}{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 and \line }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 \par }\pard \s15\ql \li720\ri0\sb100\sa240\sbauto1\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin720\itap0\ipgp1\pararsid485935 {\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 (d) }{ \lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 \tab }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 The costs of this suit \line }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 \par }\pard \s15\ql \li0\ri0\sb100\sa240\sbauto1\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\ipgp1\pararsid485935 {\b\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 Ordered accordingly. \line }{ \lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 James Ogoola \line }{\ul\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 JUDGE }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 \line 24/03/2004 \line }{ \lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 \par }{\ul\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 DELIVERD IN OPEN COURT, BEFORE: }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid485935 \line Charles Mbogo, Esq -}{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid681799\charrsid13857959 Counsel for the Plaintiffs \line J.
