20160314 TZHC Dar es Salaam

The applicant failed to establish a fixed abode or employment in Tanzania and did not substantiate ongoing ill health. Given the seriousness of the offence, the heavy penalty, and the applicant's status as a foreigner, there is a significant risk of absconding. Therefore, there are no plausible reasons to grant bail.
