Understanding Administrative Law Sources

Summary

Administrative law in Tanzania is derived from various sources, including statutes enacted by Parliament, regulations issued by administrative agencies, executive orders from the President, judicial decisions that interpret laws, and agency guidelines that clarify regulations. For instance, the Environmental Management Act empowers the National Environmental Management Council, while the Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority issues food safety regulations. Presidential directives can influence land management, and the High Courts interpretations set legal precedents. The Tanzania Revenue Authority provides tax compliance guidelines.
