amos kabota vs republic 2020 tzca 334 24 april 2020

The applicant failed to show good cause for the delay and did not establish any ground under Rule 66(1) for the intended review. The affidavits did not sufficiently explain the delay or provide evidence of timely filing, and the applicant did not account for each day of delay. The application was therefore unmaintainable and without merit.
