R U L I N G

1. The application herein dated 14/8/2018 is the 3^rd one to be filed by the applicant to seek stay of sale of  Land parcel No. Kitale Municipality Block 2116/1050 by the 2^nd Respondent in realisation of its statutory power of sale.  It further seeks stay pending an intended appeal.

2. I have perused the proceedings herein and specifically the lengthy decision of my brother  in ELC court Judge Mwangi Njoroge dated 4/7/2017.   Save for the prayer number (e) that the parties be granted  60 days to attempt an alternative settlement, I find the other issues raised by the applicant similar to these raised before Njoroge  J.

3. For the above reasons I shall not waste much  judicial time. Between July 2018 and todate, I presume that the applicant as well as the  the 2nnd Respondent  have made an attempt to settle the  liability.

4. Having  perused the pleadings herein I am inclined to dismiss the application herein dated 14/8/2018 with costs to the 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th Respondents.  The  interim orders of injunction earlier issued are vacated.

Delivered, signed and dated at Kitale this 29^th day of October, 2018.
