Muhtasari
- That is where the Legal Aid Act, Cap 21 RE 2023, becomes one of Tanzania’s most important, yet least discussed, laws.
- Somewhere along the way, we began associating justice with expensive law firms, consultation fees, court appearances and legal bills.
- The Legal Aid Act provides a much broader definition.
- The Act primarily serves indigent persons, individuals whose financial means are insufficient to engage a private legal practitioner.
- Importantly, it also recognises that, in certain circumstances, the interests of justice may require legal aid even beyond financial inability.
