JUDGMENT<o:p></o:p>

This
case has a chequered history
and has gone through the hands of about five judges
before I took over. There have been several substitutions and amendments of
pleadings by parties on both sides. That notwithstanding, the trial has ended,
and I am pleased to deliver the judgment of the court.<o:p></o:p>

It was a suit filed in the registry of
this court on the 1st day of December
2004 by the plaintiffs herein praying for certain reliefs against the
defendants. The plaintiffs amended the writ and accompanying statement of claim
with the following reliefs;<o:p></o:p>
