ORDER

[1] On 4th August 2020, this Court delivered a Ruling dismissing this application, allowing a Preliminary Objection by the 1st and 2nd Respondents. The application was supported by the affidavit of the Charles Karathe Kiarie sworn on 27th February 2020. In the Ruling at paragraph [1] we erroneously indicated that the supporting affidavit was sworn on “30 th May 2017”. Further, at paragraph [10], we indicated that the Preliminary Objection had been filed on “20 th of June 2020” which was an error as the same was filed on 11th of June 2020. Lastly, in the final orders at paragraph [21], order (a) is to the effect that “[T]he application dated 30th May 2017 is hereby dismissed”. This is an inadvertent error as the application subject of our Ruling was dated 27th February, 2020.
