Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

The advantages are many

One is entrenchment not retrenchment of judicial independence

So far, experience point out judicial independence has been retrenchment not entrenchment of our norms and practices of the court which is to uphold the rule of law

But, sadly, the opposite has been true

So we cannot go on enduring injustices tormenting us forever

So the LLB discredited by its owners via taking us for granted

LLB has now a monstrous weapon to justify injustices against the weak

Where interests of the establishment are concerned the judiciary is more than eager to appease them

How can we exculpate them over these?

In PPF pensioners matter the dispute was straightforward

High court got it right

The appeals court got it incorrigibly wrong

The high court had agreed with the plaintiffs that it was unconstitutional to apply new pension law retrospectively at a time those who had their pension had matured were already enjoying their well earned sweat

The appeal court would have none of it

They quashed and ser aside a lower court decision despite clear reading of the constitution over retrospective laws can't curtail rights before their enactment

The reasons they give were there and here but only succeeded to quicken our tempo to outlaw the LLB and political appointments

In the east African pensioners convoluted matter we saw an evil axis conjoining the high court and the appeals court to deprive granting pensioners their statutory dues

The courts found solace in illegality

First, they disowned the deed of settlement the high court has decreed

Shockingly, when it comes to enforcement of a decree the high court had passed the same court claimed it wasn't privy to the details of their agreement
