Shivji, Issa G.2016-05-152016-05-151992-04-23http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11810/2064The proposed Bills being presented to the National Assembly at the end of this month following the adoption of multi-party system raise a number of issues. The first issue is the context and the circumstances under which these Bills are being presented to the Assembly. It is not clear from the Bills or the political statements made by various leaders whether what is proposed in them constitutes interim measures for a transition to a new multi-party constitution or that these proposals are indeed what would be the final shape of the multi-party democracy in Tanzania. Lack of clarity on this issue arises primarily because the Government has so far issued no statement, let alone a White Paper, on their attitude to the Nyalali Report.enConstitutionalismTransition to multipartyOther
