This is a second appeal filed by Karimu Shaibu (the Appellant) after his first appeal at the District Land and Housing Tribunal of Mtwara through Land Appeal No. 45 of 2015 against the decision of the Ward Tribunal was unsuccessful. He has filed four grounds faulting the two lower tribunals for dismissing his claim. However, after going through the record, the court noted some legal shortcomings, including the issue of locus standi of the Appellant, which might affect the competency of the appeal. The court decided to invite the parties to address it on the competency or otherwise of the appeal before considering the issue of locus standi.
