- Whereas I had given directions on this matter, Counsel for the Petitioners now moves for orders maintenance of status quo. This application is resisted by the Respondents who maintain that the issue of jurisdiction has to be determined first before the court can proceed with the petition.
- I do agree with the Respondents that jurisdiction is everything wherefore I decline the invitation to grant interim orders.
- The earlier directions to prevail.
Dated, signed and delivered at Kisumu this 9th day of July, 2024.
