REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE CO-OPERATIVE TRIBUNAL

AT NAIROBI

TRIBUNAL CASE NO.157 OF 2006

PETER  KARIUKI MUGO & 10 OTHERS.....CLAIMANTS

VERSUS

D.L.K WAROE &  9  OTHERS....................RESPONDENTS

RULING

What  is before us  for consideration  and determination  is the Claimant’s  Application  dated  5. 4.2019.  They seek  for  an Order  that the Tribunal  be pleased  to extract  and settle  a decree  arising  out of  the award  issued  on  6. 11. 2009 computing  the total  allowances  payable  to the Claimants  as per the  tabulation  and thus give  effect to  order  No. 4 of the said award. The Claimants  annexed  a copy  of the award  as annexture  PK-1  of  the annextures  contained  in  the Supporting  Affidavit  sworn by  Peter  Kariuki  Mugo on 5. 4.2019. A copy  of the decree  is enclosed  as annexture  PK-2. Annexture  PK-6 is a copy  of the  draft  tabulations.

We have perused  the said tabulations. They  run from  pages 40-106 of the said  Affidavit. They  contain  detailed  and voluminous  presentation  of figures  which cumulatively  return  a global  figure  of Kshs.16,203,413. 40/=.

The Respondents have  dismissed  the said tabulations  vide the Replying  Affidavit  sworn by  F.M. Ndoi. They  aver that  the same  is a ploy  to introduce  new material/evidence  that was  not  in their knowledge  and  that of  the Tribunal  when it delivered  its award.  That they  are entitled  to a sum of  Kshs.1,296,000/=.

Upon  appreciation of the material  for against the Application, we are of  the view  that this is  a matter which  cannot  be exhaustively  canvassed  by the written  submissions  filed by the parties. The mathematical  aspects  of the Application  need to be explained  and/or  justified  in a manner  that can  be  understood  well  by the  Tribunal.

In light  of the foregoing, we  find that  we are unable  to write  and or complete  a Ruling and therefore  direct parties  to fix a date when they  can  highlight  their respective  written submissions.
