Arusha. The High Court in Arusha Sub-Registry has dismissed a case filed by Kibo Poultry Unit Limited seeking over Sh528.7 million in compensation from Tanzania Airports Authority (TAA) over land at Samaria village in Arumeru District, Arusha Region, adjacent to Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA).
Delivering judgment on Monday, May 25, 2026, Justice Dafina Ndumbaro held that the company failed to prove lawful ownership and was only entitled to compensation for improvements made on government land.
The dispute arose after Kibo Poultry claimed it had a customary title issued in 2016 for 48 acres purchased from a local family and valued the land at over Sh582 million.
