What Tanzania seeks to achieve with planned new criminal justice policy

Dar es Salaam. The government is in the process of developing a national criminal justice policy aimed at strengthening the legal and institutional framework governing Tanzania’s justice system, the minister for Constitutional and Legal Affairs, Dr Damas Ndumbaro, has said.

Speaking at a press briefing in Dodoma on May 20, Dr Ndumbaro said the policy is a product of recommendations made by the Criminal Justice Commission, which was formed by President Samia Suluhu Hassan and chaired by retired Chief Justice Mohamed Chande Othman.
