Dar es Salaam. The High Court postponed to
February 19 the hearing of an appeal filed by Arusha resident Kibute
Otienyi after the Prison Department failed to bring the appellant to
court.
In the appeal, Kibute is challenging a life
imprisonment sentence imposed on him by the High Court for defiling an
eleven year-old child in 2008.
The matter was set for hearing yesterday before a
panel of five judges comprising Chief Justice Chande Othman Chande,
Engela Kileo, Kipenka Mussa, Bathuel Mmila and Ibrahim Juma.
The appellant’s advocate Majura Magafu, asked the
court to adjourn the case because the Prison Department had failed to
bring his client to court.
