Tanzania Fast-Tracks Translation of Election Laws Into Swahili Ahead of PollsThe directive, issued by Tanzania's Attorney General Hamza Johari at Dar es Salaam's Sabasaba trade fair on Friday, aims to ensure public accessibility before this year's General Election, due to be held on October 28, 2025.“I believe we must intensify our efforts to translate laws, particularly those governing elections, as this enhances access to justice,” Johari said. “Making these laws available in Kiswahili will ensure the public is fully informed about their rights and responsibilities.” Legal drafter Mariam Possi reported strong public demand for vernacular legal texts during the exhibition, which served as a key civic education platform. The government is prioritizing language accessibility to promote electoral transparency and participation.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
