The Appellant filed a land dispute before Sengenya Ward
Tribunal of Nanyumbu within Mtwara region complaining against the Respondents.
The Appellant was complaining that the Respondents trespassed to his parents’
piece of land in year 2016. However, reading carefully the records of the Ward
Tribunal and 1st Appellant Tribunal, it seems the real controversy
of the disputants is on boundaries between the two pieces of land.
Upon hearing the disputants, the Ward Tribunal of Sengenya
decided the complaint in favour of the Respondents. The Appellant was aggrieved
and appealed to the District Land and Housing Tribunal for Mtwara. At the
District Tribunal the appeal proceeded in the absence of the second Respondent
and eventually, the appeal was dismissed for lack merits. Again the Appellant
was dissatisfied with such decision thus, appealed to this court.
