Dar es Salaam. The debate on Chief Justice Ibrahim Juma’s tenure continued to rage yesterday, with stakeholders saying the relevant provisions in the current Constitution were a source of confusion.

The debate stems from reports that President Samia Suluhu Hassan has extended Prof Juma’s tenure, a decision that has been opposed by some legal stakeholders, including Court of Appeal judge Stella Mugasha.
