The Court of Appeal of Tanzania quashed convictions for corrupt transactions after finding the prosecution relied on unreliable dock identification without an identification parade.
The conviction was quashed because the variance between the name in the charge sheet and the evidence was not cured by amendment, resulting in failure of justice and rendering the charge unproved. Additionally, the evidence of the children of tender age was improperly admitted due to non-compliance with section 127(2) of the Evidence Act.
