The Appellant sued the Respondent in the Juvenile Court of Musoma praying, inter alia, for a maintenance order of the child to the tune of Tshs. 300,000 per month. She also prayed for 10% of the Respondent’s pension upon his retirement. The Court ordered the Respondent to pay Tshs. 60,000 each month as maintenance of the child and that, from March 2021, he should pay Tshs. 80,000 per month after paying the pending bank’s loan. The order for payment of 10% of Respondent’s pension was not granted on the ground that the Respondent is still in service. Aggrieved, the Appellant appealed to this Court on grounds, among others, that the juvenile court did not give opportunity to the social welfare officer to bring the enquiry report.
