Parliament has called on the Attorney General, Hamza Johari, to take firm action against government institutions and agencies that have disregarded his legal advice in implementing various project contracts, as highlighted in the latest report by the Controller and Auditor General (CAG).
Speaker of Parliament, Mussa Zungu, made the directive on April 1, 2026, during the presentation of the budget estimates for the Prime Minister’s Office for the 2026/27 financial year in Dodoma.
He stressed that ignoring legal guidance undermines accountability and can compromise the execution of public projects.
Prime Minister Dr. Mwigulu Nchemba also instructed the Attorney General to work closely with the Ministry of Lands and the President’s Office Regional Administration and Local Government (TAMISEMI) to develop a robust strategic plan.
The plan aims to resolve the growing number of land disputes, which have become a persistent challenge for citizens and hinder social and economic development.
The government’s directives underline its commitment to strengthening legal compliance, ensuring transparency in project implementation, and protecting the rights of Tanzanians.
Officials say the move is part of a broader effort to guarantee that public resources are managed responsibly and that citizens’ grievances are addressed effectively.
