[2024] KEHC 9179 (KLR)

The court found that the present application was a duplicate of Miscellaneous Application E076 of 2024, which had already been dismissed for non-attendance. Filing the same matter in multiple courts amounts to an abuse of the court process. Consequently, the court struck out the application and ordered the file closed.
