REPUBLIC OF KENYA
IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND LAND COURT AT MACHAKOS
ENVIRONMENT AND LAND CASE NO [reference]
[PLOT PURCHASERS] v [CO-OPERATIVE] AND [COMPETING OCCUPIER]
PLAINT
1. The Plaintiffs are [identified purchasers] with individual transactions listed in the annexed schedule. The first Defendant is the registered co-operative proprietor of [mother parcel]; the second Defendant occupies the disputed portions under a competing claim.
2. Each Plaintiff purchased [identified plot] from [member or seller] through the first Defendant recognised transfer process. Particular agreements, fresh allotment letters, purchase payments, transfer, beacon and title-processing receipts are [scheduled by purchaser].
3. The first Defendant has not completed transfer of the purchased plots despite [proved performance and demand]. The Plaintiffs seek completion of their respective transactions; no Plaintiff claims a plot solely because another purchaser paid.
4. The second Defendant entered and developed [identified portions] without a proved lawful interest against the Plaintiffs. Particulars of interference are [structures, removed beacons or exclusion supported by evidence]. The claimed alternative title and its root are specifically disputed.
5. Jurisdiction, standing, any section 76 issue, related proceedings and existing orders are [fully pleaded]. The Plaintiffs seek no cancellation of an instrument whose existence they cannot establish and no unexplained global damages figure.
6. The Plaintiffs pray for transfer of their proved plots, permanent restraint of unlawful interference, lawful vacant possession and enforcement directions, and costs. Any damages sought must have a separately particularised basis and evidence; court-authorised execution or police assistance requires an express lawful order.
DATED at [place] on [date]. Signed [party or advocate]. DRAWN AND FILED BY [name and address for service]. TO BE SERVED UPON [each affected person and address].

Source facts and limits of the decision
Fifty-seven plot purchasers relied on agreements, fresh allotment letters and payment receipts issued through the registered co-operative proprietor. A competing occupier claimed a different parcel subdivision, developed the land and counterclaimed. A survey officer could find no records for the asserted subdivision. The co-operative supported the buyers; the competitor called no evidence.
The Court ordered permanent protection, vacation by the competitor within 90 days and transfer by the co-operative within 30 days, with authorised execution of documents on default. The non-existent-title cancellation prayer and unexplained general damages were refused. The competitor counterclaim was dismissed and it bore costs; the registrar and Attorney General claims were dismissed without costs.
Each purchaser must connect a genuine transaction to an identified plot. An allotment or title copy cannot replace proof of lawful acquisition. Co-operative jurisdiction had been determined on the particular dispute; no blanket rule bypassing section 76 follows. Police assistance and enforcement periods require the actual order.
