By Apolinari Tairo

THE East African Court of Justice (EACJ) will decide on March 15 this year whether the permanent injunction its lower division handed to the Tanzanian government, hence effectively blocking the latter's attempt to construct a highway through the Serengeti National Park, should stand or not.

The Appellate Division of the EACJ set the date after it heard an appeal on Tuesday by the attorney general of the United Republic of Tanzania, disputing the permanent injunction that the First Instance Division of the regional court handed the government last year.
