The Director of Public Prosecutions vs Hassan Ally Kube Another Misc

Court
TANZLII

Given the seriousness of the charges, the threats to witnesses, and the legal framework supporting witness protection, the court found it necessary to grant non-disclosure of witness identity and related documents, and to conduct committal proceedings in camera, limited to the committal stage. Further protection measures for the trial stage should be sought before the trial judge.

The Court found that the respondent State violated Article 7(1)(c) of the African Charter by failing to provide the applicants with free legal assistance and by failing to provide timely access to certain witness statements, thereby impairing their right to prepare a defense. The Court also found a consequential violation of Article 1 of the Charter. Other alleged violations were not established or were unproven.

Section 148(5)(a) of the Criminal Procedure Act, in relation to armed robbery, is violative of Article 15(2)(a) of the Constitution due to lack of procedural safeguards and arbitrariness, but is not struck down immediately; the government is given 18 months to rectify the defect. Section 9(3) does not violate Article 13(6)(a) as the current system provides sufficient opportunity for the accused to prepare a defence. Section 225(4) is not violative of Article 107A(2)(b) as non-compliance is an administrative issue, not a constitutional deficiency.

Court
TZHC

Section 148(5)(a) of the Criminal Procedure Act, as it relates to armed robbery, is violative of Article 15(2)(a) of the Constitution because it lacks a procedure prescribed by law and is arbitrary, but the provision is not struck down immediately; the government is given 18 months to rectify the defect. Section 9(3) of the Act does not violate Article 13(6)(a) as the current system provides sufficient opportunity for the accused to prepare a defence. Non-compliance with section 225(4) is not, per se, violative of Article 107A(2)(b) as it is an administrative issue, not a constitutional defic…
