Reflections on Tanzania's First Multi-Party Parliament: 1995-2000 - Paperback

by Pius Msekwa (Author)

The first five years of multi-party parlimentary democracy in Tanzania was a period of adjusting to a new political system and seeking to create a new political culture. The essays in this collection are part of a civic education project designed to create a better understanding of the roles and functioning of parliment in a pluralistic or multi-party democracy. One of the aims of the project is to provide for the accomodation and tolerance of opposing views and opinions. The author is the current Speaker of the National Assembly and has vast experience in parlimentary practice and procedures.
