Facts of the Case
Background
Frank Muvuti entered into a one-year lease agreement with Abigail Banga for a night club building in Banket from September 2008 to August 2009. Muvuti carried out repairs to the premises and claimed compensation for repairs and loss of business. Banga counterclaimed for unpaid rentals, holding over damages, and utility costs. The court found Muvuti's claims unsubstantiated and ordered his eviction while awarding Banga her proven counterclaim amounts.
