    "content": "(a) It has been indicated by the High Commission in Dar es Salaam that all decisions and actions relating to the matter were done in accordance with the legal procedures in Tanzania. (b) The Ministry recommends that the family of the subject should engage a lawyer in Tanzania to handle the matter accordingly, both professionally and legally. (c) This, we understand was done in accordance with the Tanzania legal procedure occasioned by discovery of new evidence. (d). The absence of a prosecuting attorney – he is said to be engaged according to Tanzanian legal and judicial process. The High Commission in Dar es Salaam has severally written to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the United Republic of Tanzania to request for more information on this matter, keeping in mind that justice delayed is justice denied. The latest such correspondence was sent to the host Government in early October, 2015. After that, the issue was raised during President Jakaya Kikwete’s visit to Kenya from 4th to 6th October, 2015. The host Government has pledged to revisit this issue and their comprehensive response is expected soon after the 2015 election and the formation of a new Government. It is worth noting that there are several Kenyans held in custody in Tanzania whose cases have never been heard nor determined. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade will soon hold the third Kenya-Tanzania Joint Commission for Cooperation meeting, where all these cases will form part of the issues for deliberation and possible resolution. Mr. Don Bosco Gichana’s case will feature if it will still be pending."
