Legal Dilemmas from Zitto Zuberi Kabwe v The President of the United Republic of Tanzania & Three Others: a Case Note

Abstract For the first time in Tanzania’s constitutional law jurisprudence, the court delivered judgment against the President on 5 December 2022. The decision was revolutionary as it opened the door for suits to be instituted directly against the President. Despite its jurisprudential significance, the utility of this judgment is washed away by some legal dilemmas that the Court left unaddressed. This case note highlights those dilemmas and their implications.
