The Appellant had sued the Respondent to claim the sum of
Tshs 187,920,000/= as repatriation expenses and subsistence allowance for 1566
days at the rate of Tshs 60,000/= per day (i.e. 30,000/= per day) for him and
his wife and half of that amount for his two children) from 1st
January, 2004 when he was officially retired as a teacher on medical grounds,
to 19th September, 2008, when he filed the plaint in the High Court, at Mbeya.
The High Court decreed that, the defendant shall pay the plaintiff subsistence
allowance equal to the salaries which the plaintiff would have been paid from 1st
January, 2004 when he was retired on medical grounds to 13/9/2004, when the
defendant had provided the plaintiff with transport. The Appellant was
aggrieved by that decision, and has filed an appeal to this Court. In his
six-ground memorandum of appeal, the Appellant challenges several findings of
fact and law and has filed a written submission in support thereof. The court
framed four grounds of appeal from the Appellant’s Memorandum of Appeal to
answer as to; What is the applicable law? Whether the Appellant was entitled to
subsistence allowance? For how long? At what rate? Whether the Appellant is
entitled to any general damages? To what reliefs are the parties entitled?
