State Counsel: That’s all, Honorable Judege
Defense Counsel: Jeremia Mtobesya: Honorable Judge may I request to have ID1, witness show the Judge where you had signed. How many documents did you sign? Is it the same signature?
Witness: I signed four documents with the same signature
Defense Counsel: Honorable Judge as per section 75 of the Evidence Act may I request witness to sign again to confirm her signature
Judge: Does that section requires the Court to ask witness to sign? Don’t you see we are going to create another document? I think you should use another document for comparison
I see you Advocate Dickson Matata as the officer of the Court assists the Court
Defense Counsel: Matata: According to section 75(2) of the Evidence Act, it provides for the Court to ask the witness to write for comparison
Defense Counsel: Malya: It won’t be that the Court is producing another evidence it’s a legal requirement Honorable Judge
State Counsel: We think the laid out premise and what is at the Court is too far, he wants to compare document but we haven’t started yet to discuss the document. He should wait whe we start to look at the document for him to do the comparison
Judge: Its true as per Section 75(2) the Court has the authority to direct the witness to write for signature comparison, I ask is that line correct Advocate Jeremia
Advocate Jeremiah: Section 47 of the Evidence Act lay the foundation, section 75 is where the Court can use its authority to confirm
Judge: What do you want there, Advocate?
The essence of the 246 of the Criminal Procedure Act, Cap 20, it wants us to have an original document for us to give the witness, so we ask to gove the witness that document
State Counsel: This is our evidence and there is no way we can give her this evidence using section 75. Honorable Judge we should observe our adversarial system and the document that he wants for comparison is yet to reach the Court and there is decision form the Court of Appeal on Butongwa John V. R Criminal Appeal No. 50, at the High Court of Shinyanga page eleven… (quoted the case). So we think this is unprocedural and we ask the Court to refuse
Defense Counsel: Jeremia: We are surprised you are wasting the Court time, Honorable Judge this is there are witness, the witness has said she is the one that has signed, I’m surprised why are they refusing. I’m ready to receive your instruction Honorable Judge
Defense Counsel: Nashon: Honorable Judge, together with section 30 EOCA-Economic Organised Crime Act, and Rule 9 of EOCA, we were supposed to be given the original but we were given the copy, we have the right to receive all the documents Honorable Judge
Judge: Jeremia argument is based on the right to receive all documents of the evidence and ask the Court to direct the prosecution to provide the original documents so that he can use for comparison. How do you see, I give you time to do submission here at the Court?
Defense Counsel: Jeremia: I request that we approach the bench so that we don’t give the Court task of writing the ruling
Judge: I give you 10-15 minute we will break
Judge: We took a break to put things in order, I welcome Advocate Mtobesya
Defense Counsel: You said this was your statement, who [took] wrote the statement?
Witness: Police, I can’t recall his name
Defense Counsel: Did you read the statement to make sure it was correct
