On 2/4/2019 through Form No 1 the Respondent moved the Mkula
Primary Court - Busega District, Simiyu Region to appoint him as
administrator to the estate of his late father, Lufumbula Yachu who died
intestate on 5/5/1992. Appellant, on 30/03/2016 filed an objection to the
proposed appointment. The trial court heard the objection. Having considered in
length, the parties’ evidence, the trial magistrate dismissed the objection on
the ground that the objector failed to prove his allegations before the court.
On the same reasoning, the Respondent was granted letters of administration of
the deceased’s estate.
Unsuccessfully, Appellant appealed to the Bariadi District
Court. In its decision, the 1st appellate Court found no reason to
disturb the trial court’s decision hence the present appeal which comprises,
among other grounds, that the Respondent is not faithful and credible person to
administer the deceased estate.
