t SAID NKIA

Court
TANZLII

The trial court lacked jurisdiction due to defective consent and certificate that did not specify the law and offences charged, rendering the proceedings and judgment a nullity. The evidence on record was insufficient to sustain conviction, and a retrial would only allow the prosecution to fill evidentiary gaps, which is not in the interest of justice. The appellant is acquitted on all counts.
