Welcome to the Website of The Ministry of Constitutional and Legal Affairs where you can read and download the constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania of 1977 in Kiswahili and English language.
The President issued a Notice on assignment of Ministerial Responsibilities (Instruments) vide Government Notice No.20 of February, 2008. This assignment of responsibilities and functions was a creation of the second Cabinet in the Fourth Phase Government. In that functional and structural change, the Ministry of Constitutional
Affairs and Justice was separated
from the Attorney General's Office
The Attorney General's Office is now an Independent Department like the Law
Reform Commission; Human Rights and Good Governance Commission; Judiciary and
Judiciary Service Commission. All these Independent Departments continue to be serviced
by the MoCLA on all policy issues including Laws Regulations in accordance with
existing laws and practices.
