Catholic Church to launch civic education on proposed Tanzania constitution

With the official announcement that the referendum on Tanzania’s draft constitution will be held in April next year, the battle lines have been drawn.

The Catholic Church, which had voiced discontent over the conduct of the Constituent Assembly, plans awareness campaign on the proposed law while the Presidential Communication Directorate is proposing a budget of Tshs2.5 billion ($1.43 million) to conduct a media campaign for a “Yes” vote.
