Marwa Nyiriga v. R., (PC) Crim. App. 71-D-67, 5/7/67, Georges C.J.
Accused was sentenced to 2 years and 24 strokes for stealing from the A.L.C., on the theory that the property stolen belonged to the Tanzania Government, and therefore this theft was covered by the Minimum Sentences Act.
Held: (1) A.L.C. is a registered body whose affairs are conducted by African Governments, including Tanzania. It does not follow, however, that A. L. C. property is that of the Tanzania Government, within the meaning of Part 1 sec. 3 of the Minimum Sentences Act. (2) The A. L.C. aids political refugees. Consequently it falls within the ambit on the word “charity” as defined in Sec. 8 of the Minimum Sentences Act, and therefore this offence is covered by the Act Sentence confirmed.
