The Parliament of Tanzania has passed the law (Written Laws Miscellaneous Amendment Act, 2021)) to amend various laws, among others to declare Kiswahili as the official language of the laws of the country and the language to be used in the administration and dispensation of justice. The Act amends three laws, namely the Interpretation of Laws Act, Cap.1, the Land Disputes Courts Act, Cap. 216 and the Magistrates’ Courts Act, Cap. 11 to officially make Kiswahili as a formal language to be adopted by courts but also in the legislations. Previously, laws and regulations in Tanzania were in English language as the result English was also the language of the court.
