CERTIFICATE OF URGENCY

I, BERNARD JUMA of P.O.BOX 5623-00100, Nairobi, do hereby pray and certify that this
application is of utmost urgency and should be heard at the earliest possible moment that this
Honorable Tribunal may find convenient. The reason of the urgency is that the 2 nd and 3rd
Respondents have issued written and verbal notices to the Applicant/Tenant, threatening to him
over unknown rent arrears and this has caused the Plaintiff/Applicant to suffer psychological
trauma.

There is a grave danger that the Applicant will lose his income and clients and unless this
application is heard forthwith, the Applicant’s business shall be gravely threatened.

DATED at NAIROBI this 14th day of May 2020.
