IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF MANENE KIOGA (DECEASED)

Between

James Muriithi Kioga

and

Ruling

1.By an order dated October 17, 2019, Ongíjo, J made the following orders:1.Grant made to Joseph Kimathi on September 19, 2019 is hereby confirmed and estate distributed as follows: -LR Abogeta/U-Kiungone/164 to be shared as followsa.Joseph Kimathi – 1.50 acresb.Lucy Njeri – 0.50 acresc.Kathure Manene – 0.50 acresd.1.00 acre due to Tarasila Mbuthu Manene- now deceased to be shared equally between Joseph Kimathi, Lucy Njeri and Kathure Manene ie 0.33, 0.33 and 0.34

2.I have considered the application dated July 26, 2021 in the light of the supporting affidavit and the response by the 1^st respondent. Whereas there is no evidence that the order of the court distributing the estate has been challenged, the 1^st respondent still holds the view that he is the only one entitled to deceased’s estate and the apprehension that he might resist distribution is therefore real.

3.1^st respondent’s explanation that he cautioned deceased’s estate in LR Abogeta/U-Kiungone/164 on the ground that other beneficiaries are not entitles to a share of the same is in view of the order dated October 17, 2019 misguided and the caution cannot be allowed to continue hindering the execution of this court’s orders.

4.For the foregoing reasons, it is hereby ordered that:1.The Land Registrar Meru is directed to lift the caution placed on LR Abogeta/U-Kiungone/164 on March 1, 20162.OCS Murungurune is directed to provide security during the subdivision of LR Abogeta/U-Kiungone/1643.Mention on December 15, 2022 to confirm compliance with the abovementioned orders and for further orders
