161. The Respondent State submits that this claim for monetary compensation has no basis, as the Applicant has not established the nexus between the alleged violations and the harm suffered by the Applicant. *** 162. The Court notes that for reparations for material prejudice to be granted, there must be a causal link between the violation established by the Court and the prejudice caused and there should be a specification of the nature of the prejudice and proof thereof.40 163. The Court notes that the Applicant does not establish the link between the violation established of his rights and his alleged loss of income and the material and transport costs that were incurred during his judicial proceedings. Rather, the Applicant’s claims are directly linked to his conviction and incarceration, which this Court did not find unlawful. 164. The Court, consequently, dismisses the Applicant’s claims for reparations for material prejudice. ii. Moral prejudice 165. With respect to moral prejudice, the Applicant prays the Court to order the Respondent State to Pay reparations in the amount of Twenty Million Tanzanian Shilling (TZS 20,000,000) to the Applicant on account of moral damage suffered. 166. The Applicant submits that he has suffered the traumatic effects of more than six (6) years’ imprisonment as well as complete disruption of his life due to incarceration. The Applicant alleges that he suffered tremendous emotional distress due to the manner in which the whole trial and sentence process was conducted, contrary to the Charter. 40 Kijiji Isiaga v.
