IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF TANZANIA
AT PAR ES SALAAM
(CORAM: MWARIJA. J.A.. MURUKE, J.A. And KHAMIS, J.AJ)
CRIMINAL REVISION NO. 7203216 OF 2026

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS......................APPLICANT

VERSUS

TUNDU ANTIPHAS LISSU...............................RESPONDENT
(Appeal from the Ruling and Order of the High Court of Tanzania
at Dar es Salaam) (Ndunauru. Karavemaha And Kiwonde. JJ.) Dated the 24th day of February, 2026 in Criminal Sessions Case No. 000019605

PULING OF THE COURT
3rd & 30th July, 2026
MWARI3A. J.A.:

On 3/3/2026 the Director of Public Prosecutions, the applicant
herein, instituted this application moving the Court to revise the
proceedings and the ruling of the High Court of Tanzania dated
22/2/2026, arising from Criminal Sessions Case No. 000019605 of 2025 (the criminal case) in which the respondent, Tundu Antiphas Lissu, is an accused person. The application, which was brought under section 6 of the Appellate Jurisdiction Act, Chapter 141 of the Revised Laws (the

Page 1​

AJA) and rule 65 (1) of the Tanzania Court of Appeal Rules, 2009 (the Rules), is supported by an affidavit sworn by Cathbert Cornel Mbiting'i, learned State Attorney.
The respondent, opposed the application through his affidavit in
reply filed on 11/3/2026. Apart from his affidavit in reply, he filed a
notice of preliminary objection in terms of rule 107 of the Rules. His
preliminary point of objection is to the following effect:
" That, in terms o f section 8 (2) (d) of the Appellate Jurisdiction Act, Cap 141 [R.E 2023], the applicant is precluded from challenging any
interlocutory decision or order of the trial court by way o f revision"
At the hearing of the application, the applicant (DPP) was represented by Ms. Ajuaye B. Zegeli, learned Principal State Attorney assisted by Messrs. Nassoro Katuga, Job Mrema and Ignas Mwinuka, learned Principal State Attorneys, Mr. Tulumanywa Majigo and Ms. Tawabu Issa,
learned Senior State Attorneys, Mr. Cathbert Mbiting'i and Mr. Winaiwa
Kassala, learned State Attorneys. The respondent (Tundu Lissu) appeared in person, unrepresented.

issued a reasonable notice to the accused person was underscored by the Court in, among others, the cases of Ndisenga Vicent v. Republic (Criminal Appeal No. 523 of 2021) [2023] TZCA 17299 and Ramadhani Mashaka v. Republic (Criminal Appeal No. 311 of 2015) [2016] TZCA 259. In both cases, the evidence of the witnesses who testified while their evidence was not read out at the committal proceedings, was expunged from the record.
In the circumstances, we agree with the trial court that, section
308 of the CPA carters for a witness who was neither listed nor was his evidence read to an accused person at the committal proceedings. It does not set out the conditions for granting leave to a witness whose evidence was read, to be recalled to adduce additional evidence as intended in the notice issued by the prosecution.
On the basis of the foregoing reasons, we are of the considered
view that, the notice was misconceived and the trial court was thus justified to strike it out.
Apart from the prayer for dismissal of the application, the respondent prayed to be paid compensation on account that, this application was frivolously instituted by the applicant with the intention

Page 23

of delaying determination of the criminal case. He contended that,
following the filing of the application, the proceedings of the criminal case was stayed for a period of 139 days as at the date of hearing this application. Relying on the provisions of section 367 of the CPA, he urged us to order the applicant to pay him compensation for the agony allegedly suffered for the period of 139 he spent in custody as a result of the pendency of the application. Section 307 of the CPA upon which the prayer for compensation was predicated stated that: "367. Where on the acquittal o f an accused person a court is o f the opinion that the charge was frivolous or vexatious, the court may order the complainant to pay to the accused person a reasonable sum as compensation for the trouble and expense to which he may have been put by reason o f such charge, in addition to his costs."
Upon interpretation of the provision of the CPA reproduced above, we are certain that the prayer made by the respondent before this Court is untenable for two main reasons. First, this being not the court of first instance, has no jurisdiction to entertain the prayer, secondly, it is upon the acquittal of an accused person and establishment of the claim

Page 24

that the charge was frivolous or vexatious that compensation may be ordered. In the circumstances, we decline to entertain the prayer for want of jurisdiction to do so.
Reverting to the application, for the aforesaid reasons, we are of
the settled view that, the same is devoid of merit. Consequently, we
hereby dismiss it.

DATED at DODOMA this 29th day of July, 2026.

JUSTICE OF APPEAL

Ruling delivered this 30th day of July, 2026 via virtual court in the
presence of Ms. Ajuaye Zegeli, learned Principal State Attorney, Mr. Tawabu Issa, learned Senior State Attorney for the applicant, Tundu Antiphas Lissu appeared in person, unrepresented and Mr. Leopord Mabugo, Court Clerk; is hereby certified as a true copy of the original.

Ni habari njema kweli kweli; sasa kesi iendelee hili jambo liishe.

Lakini nao Mahakama ya Rufaa wanachukua muda mrefu usio wa lazima kuamua jambo ambalo halikuwa na utata mkubwa kisheria.

Mzeeā€¦ā€¦kesi iendelee? Hiyo ni kesi ya kubambikiwa. Ni kesi ya uongo.

Haipaswi kuendelea hata kwa sekunde moja. Kwanza haikupaswa hata kufunguliwa.

Hiyo kesi ifutwe na wamlipe fidia Lissu kwa usumbufu na mateso waliyomsababishia.

Mahakama haziko huru, inakuaje siku 140 bado maamuzi hayatolewi, Serikali itakuja tena na jambo la kipuuzi halfu lile zee litakuja kusema Lisu anaweka mapingamizi kila siku.
 
4. MASHARTI NA MUDA MAALUMU KUTOKA COMMONWEALTH CMAG(The Ultimatum)

Kutokana na mapendekezo ya Mjumbe Maalum, CMAG imetoa maelekezo yenye ukomo wa muda (Time-bound actions) kwa Tanzania:

Ndani ya Siku 30: Kutatua suala la kushikiliwa kwa Tundu Lissu kupitia njia za kisiasa au kisheria, na kuwaachia wengine wote wanaoshikiliwa kwa kutumia haki zao kwa amani.

Ndani ya Siku 60: Kurejesha upatikanaji kamili wa mitandao ya kijamii na kuacha vitisho dhidi ya vyombo vya habari na watetezi wa uhuru wa kujieleza.

Ndani ya Siku 90: Kuitisha jukwaa shirikishi na la kuaminika la vyama vya siasa (likiongozwa na mwezeshaji huru) kujadili mabadiliko ya mfumo wa uchaguzi, ushindani wa kisiasa, wafungwa, na uwajibikaji.

Bila Kuchelewa: Kuanza uchunguzi huru wa makosa ya jinai uliopendekezwa na Tume ya Uchunguzi, pamoja na fidia kwa wahanga.

MWISHO WA UBAYA NI AIBU.

Gentleman! Unaleta usia kwenye sheria? Huwa sipendi unavyotukanwa, lakini kuna muda huwa unaalika matusi kwa makusudi kwa kutojua kwako. šŸ˜Š

huo sio usia gentleman, plz.
hilo ni takwa la kisheria kabisa pale ambapo kesi inaendelea na uchunguzi zaidi wa kujiridhisha dhidi ya makosa ya mtuhumiwa unaendelea. Haki lazima itendeke ipasavyo kwa pande zote, na hakuna mtu anapaswa kuonewa kwa sababu zozote zile.

So,
ni muhimu sana mahakama huru za Tanzania, zikazingatia maombi ya DPP na kesi iendelee kwa uwazi zaidi, kwasababu athari za mipango ya uhaini zimeonekana wazi wakati kesi inaendelea.

Gentleman,
kuhusu habari ya kutukanwa na kuporomoshewa matusi,
hiyo niachie mimi. Na kumbuka, matusi ni Identity maalumu sana ya chadema, kwasababu siku zote hayo matusi huashiria introduction ya mtukanaji au conclusions ya mporomosha matusi, na kwamba yupo empty head with pointless comments.

Ni signal muhimu sana kua, anae tukana na kuporomosha matusi ni empty head with pointless comments. So, just leave it as it is to me šŸ’
 
Mwanaume hata uwe mkorofi vipi ukibinywa pumbu lazima unyooshe maelezo. Serikali hii inajitafutia aibu yenyewe, jana wenyewe wamekiri hakuna ugaidi na kuruhusu mikutano ya hadhara iendelee, hivi kweli umfukuze kazi mshikaji wangu George Simbachawene na nafasi hiyo umpe huyu mnuka mdomo?
