Extracting witness’ evidence

By Musyoki Kimanthi

Q: I have been paying rent to my landlord through M-banking for the last two months, but he now threatens me with eviction for allegedly not paying rent. He would sms me back the two times I sent the money through my phone to acknowledge receipt of the same, but there is no hard record for it. I have written to my mobile phone service provider for details of the exchanges between myself and the landlord but no response is forthcoming. Can I compel them to attend court to give evidence in my favour if the matter ends up in court?
