MESSAGE FROM THE PRIME MINIST~ OF JAMAICA. INTRODUCTION On the 9th December, 1961, we became-suddenly-a monarchy. By deciding to remain within the Commonwealth, without making immediate provisions for introducing a republican form of govern ment at Independence, we automatically followed the precedent set by the other non-republican countries of the 2ommonwealth. The Queen, who is Head of the Commonwealth and Sovereign of severai of its member countries, became our Sovereign; and the Government of independent Tanganyika became "Her Majesty's Government". This direct association of Tanganyika and the British Monarchy was something quite new; for, until the 9th December, their association was only indirect. When the British Government assutned responsibility for the administration of Tanganyika at the end of the First World War, it was not as a colony or a protectorate but by virtue of a mandate conferred on Britain by the League of Nations. So long as the mandate and trusteeship system continued, Tanganyika was not part of Her Majesty's dominions, and the relationship between the people of Tanganyika and the Crown was Aa one ot the new Nations of the an indirect relationship depending on the position of the Monarch world which bas but recentl7 undertaken as Head of State in the country charged with the duty of administering responsibility for the conduct of' its own the territory. For Tanganyika, therefore, the British Monarchy has always been a foreign institution . .Af'f'airs, Jamaica wermly c~ngra tulates Tanganyika on having joined the r anks of The attainment of independence has greatly increased the sense of alienation from the Crown. Our proposal to become a republic the Independent Nations of' the British does not, however, imply any disrespect towards the person of the Commonwealth. Queen nor is it based purely· on the fact that the British Monarchy is a foreign institution. We must of course maintain the principle To consolidate and ensu~e the well-being embodied in the Constitution at present that the government should of' the people of your new Nation there i-s be elected, but we believe that it is essentiaJ to devise a new constitu no short-cut.

Tanganyika is a young nation, faced with tremendous problems of and to develop an intense will to achieve. nation-building and economic development. Our nationalism is a young nationalism, born of the desire to unite and free ourselves from the shackles of colonialism. While we must guard against a narrow, exclusive form of nationalism, which can lead to dangerous importance that the execution of the law should be without fear or international rivalries, we need to foster our sense of nationhood favour. Our judiciary at every level must be independent of the within the larger context of an African family of nations and the executive arm of the State. Real freedom requires that any citizen international community. We are also faced with the tr~mendous feels confident that his case will be impartially judged, even if it is a problem of achieving the rapid economic development of our country case against the Prime Minister himself". in order to raise the standard of living of our people. A sense of nationhood, and the need to mobilize the physical and spiritual In drafting the proposals for a Republican Constitution, the resources of the country in the task of development are inseparable. government has attempted to give effect to four basic principles:- Government believes that our Republican Constitution should be such as to enable our country to meet these challenges. AN EXECUTIVE PRESIDENT Broadly speaking, there are two types of republic. There are republics where the Head of State occupies the same constitutional position as that occupied by a Constitutional Monarch; his position is largely a ceremonial and formal one. This is the "Westminster model". Except in very unusual circumstances, he acts only on As far as possible, our institutions of government the advice of the Prime Minister or the Cabinet, who are the real must be such as can be understood by the people. government. This division between formal authority and real authority can be understood in countries where it has come about as a result of historical changes. In Britain, for instance, the consti tutional status of the Crown-having evolved gradually over the The Executive must have the necessary powers to centuries-is well understood by the people. They are familiar carry out the functi&D of a modem state. with the division between real power exercised by politicians and its formal and ceremonial aspects vested in the Sovereign. Such a division, however, is entirely foreign to our tradition. The honour and respect accorded to a Chief or a King or, under a republic, to a Parliament must remain sovereign. President~ is for us indistinguishable from the power that he wields. The other type of republic is that in which the President of the Republic is both Head of State and Head of the Government. He is The Rule of Law must be preserved. calfed .an Executive President. This is the type Government is proposing. The proposal to have an Executive President in no way derogates from the authority or status of Parliament. The moral authority of any government must ultimately depend on the consent of the people who are governed. This is the basis of democracy and, in practice, democracy is best maintained by means of freely elected parliament having exclusive power to make laws, raise taxes and vote money for public purposes. Even though Parliament remains sovereign, freedom in a demo cracy cannot survive without the Rule of Law. In his speech at the opening of the University College in Dares Salaam, the President of T.A.N.U., Mr. Julius Nyerere, explained the sense in which the law must be paramount in our society: "It is essential in a democratic society which believes in the equality of all its citizens, that every individual should be subject to the law. Further, it is of paramount THE POWERS , AND FUNCTIONS OF THE PRESIDENT will be elected by Members of the National Assembly, sitting as an The Government proposes that the President should be Head of electoral college.

THE PRESIDENT AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY believes that these provisions are well designed to preserve the In considering the proper relationship between an Executive independence of the judiciary and it is proposed that they should be President and the NatioJ?al Assembly, the Government's oyerriding retained save insofar as they provide for reference, after such inquiry, concern has been to deviSe workable arrangements which maintain to the Judicial Committee of t.he Privy Council. unimpaired, the sovereignty of Parliament. ' In independent countries, with the exception of some former The Government has studied the provisions of a number of colonial territories, the appointment of judges is normally a matter constitutions which, to a greater or lesser extent, invest an Executive for the executive. The Government therefore proposes that the President with power to legislate without recourse to Parliament. provisions of the present Constitution for the appointment of judges The Government considers that such provisions, although they may of the High Court by a Judicial Service Commission, acting on an have the advantage of strengthening executive authority, by their executive basis, should be superseded.

The Government not be appropriate that appeals should still be heard by the Judicial Committee, and Government therefore proposes that such appeals should be discontinued. Steps will be taken, however, to preserve the rights of the parties in cases already pending. . . THE PRESIDENT AND THE CIVIL SERVICE ~--~---~·····~~ Under the present Constitution, appointments in the civil service, apart from a few exceptional cases, are made by the appropriate service commission acting in an executive capacity. This means that the Prime Minister, who is ultimately responsible to the electorate for the success or failure of his Government, has no direct say in the I~ W IIIMIIB A G IIINIINIIE I~ S IL 1r ID. appointment of the officers charged with the duty of carrying out Government policy. Whatever the merits of such an arrangement in a country which has an established civil service of its own; the Government considers that it is wholly inappropriate to Tanganyika. In Tanganyika, the immediate task is to build up an efficient, local civil service capable at all levels of interpreting, and giving effect to, Government policy. In order to achieve this, the Government believes that ultimate authority in civil service matters should rest Assoeilattecdl Ulrncdlulstlriles ILtcdl .. with the President. Accordingly, the Government proposes that the power to appoint, promote, dismiss, and exercise disciplinary control over the members of the civil service, should be vested in the Presi- , dent. ·The existing Public Service and Police Service Commissions will continue to function in an advisory capacity. It is envisaged that it will be only in the case of the more senior posts that the President will wish to be directly concerned in civil service matters. His functions and powers at other levels will therefore be delegated extend their heartiesl Congratulations to the Government to the appropriate service commissions. It is Intended that the Appellate Board, at present provided for in ·section 11 of the Tanganyika (Constitution) Order in Council, 1961, and people o_f Tanganyika on this auspzc.,ous should continue to give protection to entitled officers in relation to loss of bepefits following disciplinary proceedings. PROCEDURE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES REPUBLIC DAY If the proposals contained in this Paper are approved by the National Assembly at the sitting commencing on the 5th June, 1962, legislative provision will be made at a meeting of the National Assembly to . be held in September for the election of a President Designate. This election, in accordance with the proposals of the Government, would be on the basis of universal .suffrage and would take place about mid-October, 1962. At a Special Session of the National Assembly, to be held in the second half of November, 1962, the proposals for a · Republican Constitution, already · approved by the Assembly, would be implemented by making the necessary amendments to the present Constitution. The new Constitution would declare the President Designate to be the First President of the Republic of Tanganyika. The President· would assume office and the new Constitution would come into force on the 9th December, 1962. ·~········- MESSAGE FROM .ALHAJ CHI:EF A.S.

As a r esident of Tanganyika since last thirty-five years I am really mos t happy this CLIMA MASK ? to be able to address this message to the people of Tanganyika through this Republic Souvenir on this auspicious occasion. On the occasion of Tanganyika attaining her Republican status, let us all whole heartedly pledge ourselves to eradicate our three enemies ~iz: Poverty, Ignorance and Disease. These objectives would not be achieved unless we all sincerely and honestly labour and work hard in the right direction and at the right moment. A newly-born nation naturally has new problems, · but I have confidence in the country and its people and I believe that with goodwill and understanding of each other we will surmount our problems and go forward together in peace and in friendship. In fine, let us all pray to The Almighty to bestow upon our Father of the Nation Dr. Julius Nyerere, long life to enable him to mould the destiny of our people in every respect for many many years to come. -., . - ~· - It is an electrical Instrument that turns the ASTHMA, SINUSITIS, HAY FEVER AND COLD sufferers' enemy - chilly, humid and impure air into healing, warm, dry and medicated air.

Lemieux, Secretary to the Secretary-General PRESS CONFERENCE BY o.s. KAMBONA - Minister of Defense of Tanganyika Mr. Kambona referred to the role his country had to play in the eradication of colonialism in Africa in view of its geographical position - surrounded by non-self-governing territories. Hie Qovernment was seriously concerned with the situation in Mozambique and Portugal's attitude towards the demands for self-determination in that territory. Portugal should accept the inevitable and accept a gradual process towards self-determination in Mozambique. While Portugal spent large sums of money in training usecret intelligence" to repress liberating movements, hundreds of people escaped from Mozambique and crossed the river into Tanganyika every day. This week Mr. Kambona received a dispatch stating that 9 Tanganyika citizens had b~en kidnapped by the Portuguese police in Tanganyika territory, taken back to Mozambique and tortured in order to obtain information from them. - One of these persons had not yet returned to Tanganyika. Such policies should be abandoned. Elections should decide the future of Mozambique. Leaders of the ppposition now in exile should be allowed to return and work freely, and also to participate in the elections. Talks between African leaders and Portugal should continue, as they are useful, but nothing could be decided until Portugal accepts definite commitments. To a question as to whether elections in Portuguese territories should be supervised by the UN, he said the Africal Group would be making a pertinent statement, but he insisted t hat elections dhould be head freely. l - •, NEW CREIEN'I'IALS SHOOLD ALSO IE :nJRNISBED TO REPREfi.:NTATIVE TO TRAlE CONPERENCE. , I
