Former Tanzania rural energy agency employee loses appeal in court

Arusha. The Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal by former Rural Energy Agency (REA) employee< Mr Prosper Peter Msellem, upholding a High Court ruling that declined to extend time for filing judicial review proceedings challenging his dismissal after more than four years’ delay, which the court said was insufficiently explained.

In a judgment delivered on June 16, 2026, a panel of Court of Appeal justices Barke Sehel, Paul Kihwelo and Ubena Agatho, sitting in Civil Appeal No. 190 of 2025, ruled that the High Court had properly exercised its discretion in rejecting Msellem’s application.

The decision is available on the Judiciary’s website.
