Yustace Mhina Mahita v. R. Crim. App. 380-D-67; 20/6/67; Hamlyn, J.
Accused was convicted of publishing defamatory matter, contrary to P.C. s. 187. The defamatory matter was contained in a letter to Mr.Mkusa, and concerned that gentleman’s competence as a District Executive Officer.
Held: One element of the offence of defamation is that the defamatory material be communicated to someone other than the person about whom the statements are made. Since the requisite publication was absent here, the conviction and fine of Shs. 200/- were set aside.
