Ruling

1. The applicant herein being Kenya Council of Employment and Migration Agencies brings an application vide chamber summons dated 20th day of April 2023 where applicant refers to a consent judgment.

2. He prays for an order to compel 4th respondent to pay the exparte applicant costs Kshs 2,000,000 as costs. He further states that the said settlement is by consent. There is however no consent signed by the respective parties and the court cannot make head or tail about this application. The genesis of the same is not clarified and the referred costs of Kshs 2,000,000/- are not ascertained how they were arrived at and what they covered.

3. This is a matter that has been mentioned in court and a lot of discussion for months and the applicant had been directed to file proper pleadings but he did not comply. The other parties confessed they also did not make sense out of the applications by Mr Evans Nyambega of the applicant.

4. Clearly the court is not clear what the application by the exparte applicant are all about. The court finds no sense in the said application and so dismisses the same for failure to reveal any cause of action.

5. Each party will meet their respective costs.Orders accordingly.
