CIVIL SUIT NO 125 OF 2008

FRANCIS MUNYAO MULINGE..................................PLAINTIFF

VERSUS

MAE MOHAMMED ABUU......................................DEFENDANT

JUDGEMENT

By a Plaint filed on 4th August, 2008, the Plaintiff seeks judgement against the Defendant for:

a) a perpetual injunction to restrain the Defendant by himself, his servants, relatives and/or agents or otherwise whosoever from trespassing to the Plaintiff's land.

b) Eviction Order

c) Costs of this suit and interest thereof.

The Defendant entered appearance and filed a Defence on 26th August, 2008. The Defendant denied the allegations in the Plaint and stated that the suit land was fraudulently registered in the name of the Plaintiff as it has been occupied by the Defendant's family since 1930 with houses built thereon. The Defendant pleaded that the Plaint does not disclose any cause of action against him and he will take the first opportunity to strike it out with costs. The Defendant filed a Counterclaim where he pleaded that he was bringing it as an administrator of the estate of the late LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI (deceased) with grant of letters of administration duly confirmed by the Machakos High Court on 18th December, 1997 vide succession cause No. 110 of 1996. Further that by virtue of the said Grant he was entitled to be registered as the proprietor of the suit property formerly known as plot no. 909/631 which formed part of the deceased estate. He states that the suit property has all along been occupied by his family members ever since 1930 and the developments thereon were built by the deceased LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI. He avers that at the date of the said Grant, the suit parcel had been fraudulently transferred and registered in the Plaintiff's name. Further that on 19th September, 1994 the Plaintiff unlawfully colluded with one SHEKUNA MOHAMED HAJI to the effect that the said SHEKUNA fraudulently and without any lawful authority purported to sell and transfer the suit land to the Plaintiff. The Defendant listed particulars of fraud within the Counter claim and sought for judgement against the Plaintiff as follows:

a) A declaration that the Defendant is entitled to be registered as the owner of the said plot and the register should be cancelled to read as such.

b) An order that the purported purchase and transfer of plot known as MACHAKOS TOWN BLOCK 11/116 formerly known as plot No. 909/631(ORIGINAL 909/63/V) be declared null and void.

c) An order of permanent injunction restraining the Plaintiff whether by himself, his servants and/or agents or otherwise howsoever from taking possession of MACHAKOS TOWN BLOCK 11/116 together with the developments thereon.

d) Costs of this suit and interest.

The Plaintiff filed a reply to the Defence by denying the allegations therein and filing a Defence to the Counter claim where he stated that he bought the suit parcel of land together with the developments thereon from close relatives of the Defendant who transferred it to him and thereafter left the premises but the Defendant failed to do so. He stated that the suit premises was at all material times the sole property of MARIAM SHEKUNA MOHAMMED and MOHAMMED SHEKUNA MOHAMMED who donated their powers of attorney to SHEKUNA MOHAMMED HAJI who then lawfully and openly sold the same to the Plaintiff. Further that the suit premises were developed and occupied by the sellers who left the same upon transferring it to the Plaintiff. He denies any knowledge of LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI, reiterates that he purchased the suit property for value and states that his was a first registration and since no fraud was committed in the sale nor registration, the same should not be declared null and void nor cancelled. The Plaintiff states that the Defendant's counterclaim is fatally defective and raises no cause of action against him and should be dismissed with costs.

Plaintiff Evidence

PW1 FRANCIS MUNYAO MULINGE, the Plaintiff herein in his examination in chief, stated that he knows the Defendant as the brother of one SHEKUNA MOHAMMED HAJI who sold him the suit land Machakos Municipality block 11/116 in 1994 and he paid the full purchase price. He said prior to purchasing the suit land, he had seen it and there was nobody in occupation, but when he bought it, the Defendant who was occupying the adjacent plot promised to take care of it in his absence. He stated that the Defendant never objected to his purchasing the suit land from his brother and he managed to get an official lease and Certificate of Lease dated 3/1/94 which he produced as exhibit P1. He averred that SHEKUNA MOHAMMED HAJI sold the suit land through the Power of Attorney dated 12th September, 1984, which his son MOHAMMED SHEKUNA MOHAMMED and his wife MIRRIAM SHEKUNA MOHAMMED donated to him. The two Powers of Attorney were produced as exhibit P2 and P3 respectively. PW1 said the Search Certificate dated 5/8/09 shows that he is the proprietor of the suit land, and he produced it as exhibit P4. He said he is relying on his reply to Defence and Counterclaim, that the Defendant has never been in possession of the suit premises for over 30 years as claimed and he does not know LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI as the suit land did not belong to her. Further that he never colluded with the vendor as the suit land was sold to him and the counterclaim should be dismissed with costs.

During cross examination, PW1 stated that at the time of purchase in 1994, nobody was in occupation of the suit land and the Defendant only entered it after this. He said he bought suit land for Kshs 380,000 and the Defendant is in occupation as he resides in Mombasa. He said he did not have any document to prove he paid the purchase price but Vendor came with a letter of allotment as well as Powers of Attorney from his wife and son respectively. He stated that the Letter of Allotment was retained by the Ministry of Lands when they issued a Certificate of Lease for 99 years from 1/11/93. Further, the Lease was in accordance with the Letters of Allotment which indicated the suit land belonged to SHEKUNA MOHAMMED HAJI and family and he was given the land on 1/11/93. He said the suit land was given to SHEKUNA MOHAMMED HAJI on 1st November, 1993. The suit land is within Machakos Municipality and the Lease was signed by the Commissioner of Lands. He said he did not get a letter from the Machakos Municipality consenting to the transfer and do not have receipts for the payment of rates and rent. He further said Certificate of Lease was issued on 12th January, 1994 and he took the Lease to the Land Registrar on 3rd January, 1995. Further that the Defendant does not reside on the suit land but has let the structures thereon to other people.

In his re examination, PW1 said the Defendant was to keep watch over the plot on his behalf. That the Defendant has tenants who occupy the houses put up by the Vendor. The Defendant had sued him earlier which suit was dismissed for want of prosecution. He said he bought the land which belonged to SHEKUNA MOHAMMED HAJI and family but misplaced the Sale Agreement,. Further that he has not been able to pay rates as the Defendant registered a caution on 19th May, 1998 and that the Certificate of Lease indicates it was issued on 3rd January, 1995.

PW2 SHEKUNA MOHAMMED HAJI stated in his examination in chief that the Plaintiff is his friend while the Defendant is his brother and he sold the Plaintiff the suit land within Machakos Town, after which they proceeded to the Nairobi Lands Office where it was transferred to the Plaintiff. He said the suit land belonged to him and his family, he obtained the consent of his wife and son to sell it and they gave him Powers of Attorney to do so. He said before he sold the suit land and transferred it to the Plaintiff, it had hotels which had been burnt down, but he later put up structures which he rented out. Further that nobody objected to his selling the suit land and the same belongs to the Plaintiff. He stated that LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI was his grandmother and suit land belonged to him as it had been allotted by the Machakos District Plot Allocation Committee.

In his cross examination PW2 said the land is number 631909/631 but has since changed to block 11/116 and that he was given the said land by the allocation committee. He said the grandmother initially had it as a temporary occupation licence (TOC) which she passed to him and he sold the land to the Plaintiff for Kshs. 380,000. He averred that he cannot remember the date but it was in 1995. Further that the land belonged to the Machakos Municipal Council and he used to pay rates but do not have receipts. He said ABA SHEKUNA is his mother but he also has a daughter with the same name. He said the suit land belonged to him, his family which included his wife and children only. He testified that he got the Letter of Allotment in 1971 and the land used to belong to LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI who later surrendered it to him before the municipal council of Machakos. Further that the land initially belonged to him according to the records and his brothers and sisters were aware that he sold the land to the Plaintiff and none complained.

In re examination he averred that he was given the Letter of Allotment for the plot and the land was handed over to him by his grandmother, none of the relatives objected. Further he used to pay rates to the council and the sale was not fraudulent as he informed his brothers and sisters about it.

The Plaintiff thereafter closed their case.

Defense evidence

DW1 MAE MOHAMMED ABU who is the Defendant herein stated in his examination in chief that he knew the Plaintiff whom he met in 2001 at the Machakos Land Registry Office when he was called by the Land Registrar regarding the suit parcel. He said the plot belongs to their grandmother LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI who died in 1992. Further that his grandmother had only one daughter called ABA SHEKUNA who had children namely Asha Abdalla, Shekuna Mohammed, Abuu Mohammed, Asha Mohammed, Mae Mohammed, Amina Mohammed and Mariam Mohammed. ABA SHEKHUNA passed away in 1971 and predeceased their grandmother while SHEKUNA MOHAMMED passed away on 18th May, 2017. He said he is aware of a claim where his brother SHEKUNA MOHAMMED sold the suit land to the Plaintiff which land belonged to their grandmother LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI and not to his brother. He stated that the Plaintiff produced a Certificate of Lease to the suit land but the same was not registered in the name of SHEKUNA MOHAMMED at the time of issuance of Certificate of Lease as they had not administered the estate of their mother and grandmother respectively. He averred that he was appointed the Administrator of the estate of his grandmother and not SHEKUNA MOHAMMED. He was issued with Certificate for Confirmation of Grant in 1997 vide Succession Cause No. 110 of 1996, and produced the said Grant as exhibit D1. He said the suit land has been under his control, has been paying land rates and rent and confirms the said land is still in the name of the family. He produced a bundle of receipts being payment of land rates and rent as exhibit D2 and a receipt dated 11th July, 2001 for Kshs. 10, 600 issued by the Machakos Municipal Council as exhibit D3 where he had paid for the transfer of the suit property to his name as the administrator. He stated that the property was not given to SHEKUNA MOHAMMED by their late grandmother nor by the Machakos Town Council Allotment Committee as he is not aware of any allotment letter issued to him nor did he see one produced in court as an exhibit. He avers that he was not aware of any Power of Attorney issued to SHEKUNA MOHAMMED by his son MOHAMMED SHEKUNA MOHAMMED and wife MARIAM SHEKUNA MOHAMMED. He confirmed that MOHAMMED SHEKUNA MOHAMMED and MARIAM SHEKUNA MOHAMMED are not his direct siblings. He said the Plaintiff claims he came to the suit land in 1994 and yet he never saw him before 2001. Further that they were not aware SHEKUNA MOHAMMED was selling the suit property as they did not see any sale agreement. The suit property has a lease from Municipal Council of Machakos which is registered in the name of LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI. DW1 said at the time of transfer and registration of Certificate of lease, the suit property still belonged to the deceased LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI. He confirmed the suit property consists of rental houses which are under his control.

During cross examination DW1 stated that as per the confirmed Grant, the suit property is not part of the estate of the late LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI. Further that he is not an administrator of the suit property and apart from the receipt dated 11th July, 2001 the rest of the receipts marked exhibit D2 do not reflect anything to do with the suit premises. The receipts do not reflect ownership but only the person who has paid the rates/ rents to the council. In Exhibit 3 it confirms it was received from LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI and yet she was already deceased. The name in the file at the Municipal Council of Machakos is the deceased's. He said he got to know the Plaintiff in 2001 when they were at Machakos Registrar of Lands office as he had registered a caution on the suit land but the Plaintiff had applied for the same to be removed. He said he registered a caution over the suit land in 1998 and wanted to include it in the application for letters of administration intestate but found there was a lease that had been issued. He averred that when his brother sold the suit property there were structures that got burnt down. He denied meeting the Plaintiff and accepting to take care of the suit property. He said the grandmother had two developed plots and before she died she had subdivided the property to her grandchildren, he was given property verbally but nothing was written down. The rent collected from the suit property is used to cater for his sisters, as there are temporary structures thereon.

In re examination DW1 stated that they had a good relationship with his brother which got strained after the sale of the suit property. There is only one property listed in the grant, the suit property was not listed because of the Letters of Allotment. I was the one paying land rates and rent with the suit property being in the name of LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI and that is the reason the Municipal Council gave him a receipt in her name. He testified that they were seven children and he had not been given any property but the properties were given to Asha Abdalla, Shekhuna Mohammed (deceased), Abu Mohammed (deceased), and they did not participate in the succession cause because they already got their property; they were in agreement that the remaining property of the deceased should be shared among the four children namely Asha Mohammed, Mae Abu, Amina Mohammed and Mariam Mohammed. He insisted he had not seen an allotment letter to Shekuna Mohammed neither a Sale Agreement. Further that the structures on the suit property are made of bricks while the rent is shared between himself and his sisters Asha Mohammed, Amina Mohammed and Mariam Mohammed who were the children with no property allocated to them.

DW2 JAMES MUSYOKA MUSYIMI during his examination in chief stated that he is a Works Officer with the County Government of Machakos where he performs town planning issues and supervises county properties. He said they have a County Registry where he has access to files as it is necessary for his work. He said they have a file in respect of the suit property Machakos 11/116 which he brought to court. He confirmed the file emanated from the Municipal Council of Machakos (defunct) and now County Government of Machakos. He said according to the records, the file is in the name of LONDOI AMINA ATHMAN. He thereafter explained the procedure for transferring a lease to a third party which involves the town planning and housing committee. He stated that the registered owner of the plot submits an application for request to transfer of property which application is forwarded to the said committee for determination. If the application is approved, they seek comments from the other departments i.e Lands, Survey and Physical Planning, who once they issue a no objection over the said application, then a letter is sent to the Land Registrar Machakos County for transfer of property to the new owner. This is after the applicant has paid transfer fees and all the other accumulated land rates, the consent comes in at the approval stage and it is issued by the County Government's Town Planning and Housing Committee. He said they do not have complete documentation in the deceased file and it is not possible for a Certificate of Lease to be registered at the Registrar of Lands without the above process being adhered to. Further that it is not possible for a Lease to be registered by the Registrar of Lands without the consent from the County Government. As per the County records, the property still belongs to LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI. He explained that the administrator recognized by Court can initiate the transfer of the property in case the owner is dead but any other person is not allowed to transfer the lease. He said they normally ask for documents to prove ownership.

During cross examination DW2 stated that he confirms the lease at the Registrar of Lands is the first registration and they do not have documents in the file to prove suit land belonged to LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI. A copy of documents relating to allotment of land are given to the registered owner.

During re examination DW2 reiterated that in the file there are receipts for payment of land rates and it is not possible for the lease to be transferred. However, in a settlement such as Mijini or Swahili Village which was settled before independence ownership documents is still a problem to date. The Grant he showed the court is a general grant and no property is indicated. He said property belonging to SHEKINA BIN SHAIRI belongs to LONDOI BINTI ATHMANI. Further he has not received any claim of ownership in the file and FRANCIS MUNYAO never contested ownership of the suit land before this case.

The Defendant thereafter closed their case.

Both parties filed their written submissions which I have considered.

Analysis and Determination

Upon perusal of documents filed herein and evidence presented, the main issues for determination are:

Whether the Plaintiff's Certificate of Lease was legally acquired.

Whether the suit premises belonged to the estate of LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI.

Whether the Defendant has trespassed on the suit premises.

On the first issue as to whether the Plaintiff's Certificate of Lease was legally acquired. I wish to interrogate the evidence before me. PW2 informed the Court that after receiving the purchase price from the Plaintiff, they went to the Land Registrar in Nairobi who issued the Plaintiff with a Certificate of Lease. Except for the Power of Attorney PW1 and PW2 however failed to produce in court any documents including Sale Agreement to prove the purchase. Both PW2 and DW1 admit that LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI is their grandmother and she died in 1992. Further, DW1 informed Court that he had applied for Letters of Administration Intestate in respect of the estate of LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI with a Certificate for Confirmation of Grant issued to him on 18th December, 1997. PW2 stated that he was alloted the suit parcel in 1971 and he sold to the Plaintiff in 1994. However he did not produce any Letters of Allotment stating so. He further admitted during cross examination that the suit parcel indeed belonged to his grandmother LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI who gave it to him in 1971 but failed to produce any documentation to prove this. PW2 averred that the suit parcel belonged to him and his family that included his wife and children and that was the reason he got a Power of Attorney from his son and wife respectively to sell the suit land to the Plaintiff.

The question is if indeed the suit land was given to him by his grandmother in 1971, why was the letter of allotment not transferred in his name in the same year.The Court notes that in DW1's evidence he indicated that he is in possession of the suit land where there are rental houses and proceeds therefrom are divided between himself and his three sisters, AMINA MOHAMMED, ASHA MOHAMMED and MARIAM MOHAMMED, because his grandmother already gave PW2 and two other older siblings their property prior to her demise. What is curious to note is that the Plaintiff after having bought the suit land in 1994 has failed to take up possession todate.

DW2 in his examination in Chief informed the Court that the file within the County Government of Machakos relating to the suit property indicate that it still belongs to LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI. DW2 provided steps to be adhered to if one intends to transfer an allotment to a third party. These involves the town planning and housing committee and the steps are as follows:

Registered plot owner to submit an application for request to transfer of property.

Application is forwarded to the committee for determination

Upon approval of application the committee seeks comments from the other departments i.e Lands, Survey and Physical Planning, who once they issue a no objection, a letter is sent to the Land Registrar Machakos County for transfer of property to the new owner.

Applicant is expected to pay transfer fees and all the other accumulated land rates

Consent is obtained at the approval stage and it is issued by the committee

PW1 and PW2 did not provide any evidence as to whether they adhered to the steps above to transfer suit land to the Plaintiff. PW1 confirmed he did not obtain consent of the Municipal Council of Machakos before he got the Certificate of Lease for the suit land. DW2 also informed the court that they do not have complete documentation in the deceased file but it is not possible for a Certificate of Lease to be registered by the Registrar of Lands without the above process being adhered to. Further no Lease can be registered by the Registrar of Lands without the Consent from the County Government.

Except for the Power of Attorney, PW2 in his evidence did not provide any documentation he had been legally allocated the suit parcel by his grandmother. PW2 sold the suit land in 1994 after the demise of his grandmother who was the allottee of the suit land. In relying on Section 4(1)(a) of the Law of Succession Act which stipulates as follows:'Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Act or by any other written law - succession to immovable property in Kenya of a deceased person shall be regulated by the law of Kenya, whatever the domicile of that person at the time of his death'. In so far as this relates to the case at hand, PW2 did not have the legal capacity to sell the suit land to the Plaintiff as he had not obtained Letters of Administration Intestate to enable him dispose of it. DW1 acquired Grant of Letters of Administration in 1997 when the suit land had already been sold by PW2 who was not the administrator of the estate of their grandmother LONDOI. Further Section 45 of the Law of Succession Act provides that: 'Except so far as expressly authorized by this Act, or by any other written law, or by a grant of representation under this Act, no person shall, for any purpose, take possession or dispose of, or otherwise intermeddle with, any free property of a deceased person'. I am persuaded by this section and find that PW2 intermeddled with the estate of his grandmother LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI without Grant of Letters of Administration Intestate and sold it to the Plaintiff.

Section 26 (1) of the Land Registration Act states that : ' The certificate of title issued by the Registrar upon registration, or to a purchaser of land upon a transfer or transmission by the proprietor shall be taken by all courts as prima facie evidence that the person named as proprietor of the land is the absolute and indefeasible owner, subject to the encumbrances, easements, restrictions and conditions contained or endorsed in the certificate, and the title of that proprietor shall not be subject to challenge, except—

(a) On the ground of fraud or misrepresentation to which the person is proved to be a party; or

(b) Where the certificate of title has been acquired illegally, unprocedurally or through a corrupt scheme.

In relying on this section, in so far as the Plaintiff holds a Certificate of Lease and claims it is conclusive evidence of proprietorship, I note that he did not adhere to the due process to acquire it . Further the person who sold him the suit land did not have capacity to do so as he was not the administrator of the deceased estate and neither was there evidence to prove the property was transferred to him during the deceased life time. PW1 stated in Court that he had neither taken possession of the suit parcel from 1994 nor paid any land rates or rent because DW1 had registered a caution over the said land. This is unusual as there is no provision in the Law that bars a person from paying land rates or rent over a property because of a caution registered thereon. The chronology of events demonstrate that PW1 has not been interested in the suit land. Further it is peculiar that an owner who has invested heavily to acquire land has not been keen to take possession without any lawful cause.

I am persuaded by the case of KURA NGALA ABUYA vs JENIFA AKUMU OBUNGA & ANOR. KISII HC ELC NO. 278 of 2013 S where Justice Okongo held that ' ......the Plaintiff has failed to prove that the defendants had the legal capacity to sell the disputed portion of the suit property to him and that the transaction was proper, lawful and enforceable in law. This court cannot lend its hand in aid of an illegal transaction. The agreements of sale that were entered into between the Plaintiff and the Defendants for the disputed portion of the suit property offend the provisions of Section 45 of the Law of Succession Act and Section 6 of the Land Control Act aforesaid. The same cannot therefore be enforced by this court.'

In relying on section 4 (1) (a) and section 45 of the Law of Succession Act and being persuaded by the above authority I find that the Plaintiff's Certificate of Lease was acquired illegally and unprocedurally and hence cannot stand the test of time as PW2 did not have capacity to sell the suit land to her. Perhaps that is why one has to wonder why the Plaintiff has never taken possession of the suit parcel yet he claims to have bought it for valuable consideration.

On the issue as to whether the suit premises belonged to the estate of LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI. PW2 did not deny the suit premises belonged to his grandmother but claims she gave it to him in 1971. However he did not produce any documentation to prove his claim. DW1 stated that the suit land belonged to their grandmother and they have been collecting rent therefrom which is shared between himself and his three sisters. DW2 confirmed that as per the records within the Machakos County Government , the suit parcel belongs to LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI, and property belonging to SHEKINA BIN SHAIRI belongs to LONDOI BINTI ASMANI. From the receipts furnished by DW1, it shows the rates to the suit property have been paid by SHEKINA BIN SHAIRI and LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI . Further, DW1 stated that he has been paying land rates and rent in LONDOI's name and produced receipts to this effect. The Plaintiff produced a Certificate of Lease for the suit parcel claiming he bought it in 1994 for valuable consideration from PW2 but did not produce any documentation to demonstrate the process he adhered to, to acquire the lease and admitted he never obtained consent from the Municipal Council of Machakos to do so. PW2 further produced a Letter of Allotment over the suit parcel for 1993 and yet he claimed he was allotted land in 1971. PW1 who was the Plaintiff further stated that he did not know LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI. From the proceedings above, I find that the suit parcel indeed belonged to LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI as no requisite evidence as required by the Law of Contract and Law of Evidence has been presented in court to controvert it.

On the issue as to whether the Defendant has trespassed on the suit premises, I find that this is not the true position as claimed by the Plaintiff since the suit parcel belonged to the Defendant's grandmother. Further, the Defendant as DW1 admitted he had been paying rates and rent over the suit premises and been collecting rent which is divided between him and his sisters. The Court takes judicial notice of the fact that the suit premises had been owned by DW1's grandmother and DW1 is the administrator of her estate. As an administrator a person is legally allowed to manage an estate of a deceased person. Further that it is the Defendant who has been taking care of the suit property, a fact alluded to by both PW1 and PW2 respectively.

Due to the glaring inconsistencies in the Plaintiff's evidence, allegations of fraud and misrepresentation over acquisition of the suit parcel by the Plaintiff and the fact that the Plaintiff's Certificate of Lease was obtained unprocedurally due to the fact there was no consent to transfer it obtained from Municipal Council of Machakos who is the Lessor, I find that the Plaintiff has failed to prove his case on a balance of probability and I dismiss it with costs. I will allow the Defendant's Counter claim and make the following order:

a) The Certificate of Lease issued to the Plaintiff over the suit parcel known as MACHAKOS TOWN BLOCK 11/116 formerly known as plot No. 909/631(ORIGINAL 909/63/V) be declared null and void and the suit property to revert to the estate of LONDOI AMINA ATHMANI.

b) Each party will bear his own costs.

Dated signed and delivered in open court at Kajiado this 5th Day of October 2017.
