Arusha. The Court of Appeal has upheld the ownership of a government house in Sekei, Arusha, by former senior police officer Suleimani Kova, ending a long-running dispute with retired police officer Godfrey Nzowa.
The court, however, ruled in favour of Mr Nzowa on one issue after setting aside an order requiring him to pay Mr Kova $200 monthly, saying the claim for compensation over occupation of the house was not supported by sufficient evidence.
The decision was delivered on July 22, 2026, by a three-judge panel comprising Justices Gerald Ndika, Omar Othman Makungu and Mustafa Ismail, following an appeal filed by Mr Nzowa against Mr Kova, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Works and the Attorney General.
