This appeal originates from the Primary Court of Nanyamba, which convicted the Appellants on the offence of robbery contrary to sections 285 and 286 of Penal Code [Cap 16 R.E. 2002] and subsequent sentence to serve a jail term of thirty (30) years. Aggrieved, they unsuccessfully appealed to the District Court of Mtwara, which upheld the trial court’s decision and sustained the conviction and the sentence. Similarly, their appeal before the High Court bore no fruit following the dismissal of the second appeal. Still undaunted, they have now preferred the third appeal to this court. The main issue before the Court was whether or not primary court had jurisdiction to conduct the trial.
