They also cited a number of authorities. I have considered their submissions and the affidavit evidence adduced by both sides . I have noted in particular in the affidavit of John Joshua Ndege sworn on January 18, 2000 in reply to the one sworn by Okot Chono and Ogulle. Ndege states in his affidavit and he was not contradicted in his averments that the property in the hands of t h e receive is worth over one billion shillings. The property in the hands of the receivers is a ginnery which the receiver's should have managed to generate income and payoff the creditors or should have sold off by now to recover the loan due to DFCU. If the ginnery is worth one billion shillings as Ndege asserts, then the receivers have assets from which they can recover any costs which they are likely to incur in the Suits. \par \par I have also noted that it was agreed that the ginnery should be opened to allow the respondent to operate normally. The applicants state that they opened the ginnery but later closed it because the respondent did not strictly adhere to the terms of the Consent judgment. I am not persuaded that this is a case in which the Court should

order security for costs. The applicants are in possession of property worth one billion shillings according to the affidavit of Ndege and this should take care of the costs which are likely to be incurred. I therefore find no merit in this application an d the same is dismissed with costs to the respondent. }{\b\insrsid7422559 \par \par \par }}
