Way back in the 1960's, the respondent, a cement
manufacturing factory, acquired a piece of land at Wazo Hill within
Dar es Salaam where limestone, the raw material for the
manufacturing of cement, is available.
In the 1980's the respondent realized that the area it occupied
would not satisfy the demand of the factory, in particular the
limestone. So, arrangements were made to secure more land by
2
buying out those occupying the needed land which is adjacent to the
one the respondent was occupying.
It is the respondent's case from a total of twelve witnesses that
the village officials of Boko and Tegeta were contacted with the view
to securing more land by organizing meetings with villagers. At the
end of the day, the respondent managed to buyout a number of
villagers by way of compensation after conducting valuation exercise.
The land was surveyed and a new title deed incorporating the old
and new boundaries was issued (Exht P1). So, the current title deed
now comprises plots No.1, 4 and 7 after effecting payment to the
villagers (Ext P3- March, 1993). |
