The Respondent sued the Appellant in Civil Case No. 4 of
2011 before the High Court of Tanzania at Mtwara in which she prayed for
declaration to the effect that the contract for construction of abattoir at
Kilwa Masoko which was entered between them had been breached by the Appellant.
As a result, she prayed to be awarded damages and interests for delayed
payments. The High Court heard the evidence of the parties and in the end judgment
was entered for the Respondent. The decision of the High Court prompted the
Appellant to lodge the present appeal to express her dissatisfaction.

Respondent lodged a notice of preliminary objection on 19/10/2016 under rule
107(1) of the Tanzania Court of Appeal Rules, 2009 contesting the competency of
