Abstract

The Respondents sought an order of stay of execution of the Judgment delivered pending the hearing and determination of its intended appeal to the Court of Appeal.

The application is premised on grounds that, first, the order of mandamus and the direction for sustainable management of Lake Turkana contained in the Judgment are beyond what was requested in the amended petition, and secondly, that the burden of complying with the order would be extremely onerous and beyond the control and knowledge of the Respondent.

The Court granted stay of execution of the Judgment delivered pending the hearing and determination of Respondent/Applicant’s appeal.
