Khamis & 3 others v Muchura & 14 others

Khamis & 3 others v Muchura & 14 others [2025] KEHC 10652 (KLR)

The court found that the plaintiffs/applicants had established a prima facie case regarding the procedural irregularities in the convening of the AGM, their expulsion, and the change of the club's status. The court held that the issues raised were triable and could not be determined at the interlocutory stage. The court further found that the plaintiffs, particularly Mr Khatib, would suffer irreparable harm not compensable by damages if the injunction was not granted, given the reputational and structural consequences of the AGM resolutions.

Kenduiywo & 8 others v National Land Commission & 5 others [2025] KEELC 5308 (KLR)

The court held that the NLC's powers to review titles are limited to public land and must be exercised with strict adherence to procedural fairness.
