The court found that the Plaintiff had established proprietorship of parcels Laikipia/Nyahururu/1945 and 1950 by production of title deeds. However, the Defendants and their predecessors had been in open, continuous, and exclusive possession of the disputed land since 1971, well before the Plaintiff obtained title. The Plaintiff's suit, filed in 1999, was therefore time-barred under Section 7 of the Limitation of Actions Act, as more than twelve years had elapsed since the Defendants' occupation began. The 2nd Defendant and the community had used a path through the Plaintiff's land to access water since 1971, creating a prescriptive easement under Section 32 of the Limitation of Actions Act. The 1st Defendant's counterclaim for adverse possession was properly before the court and succeeded, as the evidence showed the Defendants' occupation was adverse, open, and without permission for the requisite period. Subdivision and change of title did not defeat the Defendants' accrued rights. The Plaintiff's suit was dismissed, and the Plaintiff was ordered to subdivide and transfer the portion occupied by the 1st Defendant. Costs were awarded to the Defendants.
