Criminal law KOMANYA FINAL 2

KOMANYA FINAL 2

Court
TANZLII

The trial magistrate correctly applied section 228(4) of the CPA when the appellants refused to plead due to absence of their advocates, and there was no violation of the right to be heard. The prosecution was ready to proceed with witnesses at the appropriate stage, and there was no abuse of power by the DPP in re-arresting and re-charging the appellants. The alleged extraneous matters in the trial court's ruling were judicial comments and not the basis of the decision. All grounds of appeal lack merit.

  • Embezzlement
  • Money laundering
  • Right to fair hearing
  • Nolle prosequi
  • Re-arrest and re-institution of charges
