His submission is that the concept of treating as a corrupt act and therefore an offence existed since the enactment of the National Elections Act 1985. Our next stage is the petition itself. To treat them as being absolute is to invite anarchy in society. The petitioners being registered institutions are legal persons. The decisions of the Court of Appeal in the cases cited by the learned State Attorney also support our view: We do not see any lawful object which was intended to be achieved by the ''takrima" provisions apart from legalizing corruption in election campaigns. 11) Status of the Constitution English (1) Every person has the duty to observe and to abide by this Constitution and the laws of the United Republic. Their opinion is that the provisions justify the giving and receiving of something of normal or traditional hospitality or incurring what is called normal or ordinary expenses in election process in good faith. According to the Petitioners the impugned provisions are violative of Aticles 13 (1) (2), 21 (1) (2) and 29 (1) of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania; on the ground that they encourage corruption in elections, impinge on the right to equality before the law, and the citizens rights to vote and be voted in fair and free elections. (5) For the purposes of this Article the expression discriminate means to satisfy the needs, rights or other requirements of different persons on the basis of their nationality, tribe, place of origin, political opinion, colour, religion, sex or station in life such that certain categories of people are regarded as weak or inferior and are subjected to restrictions or conditions whereas persons of other categories are treated differently or are accorded opportunities or advantage outside the specified conditions or the prescribed necessary qualifications except that the word discrimination shall not be construed in a manner that will prohibit the Government from taking purposeful steps aimed at rectifying disabilities in the society.

The court cannot rely on what the media says as a basis for its decision. In 2005, Act N0.3 of 2005 amended it again.

The response by the-Advocates for the petitioners is that the issue which is involved is the constitutionality of the "takrima" provisions. The learned State Attorney went on to submit that the "takrima" provisions were enacted subsequent to the decisions of the Court of Appeal because the Parliament found that there were genuine expenses for food, refreshments and entertainment incurred as genuine costs by an election candidate. 78) Political Parties Subject to the other provisions of this Constitution, the Electoral Commission may make provisions specifying the procedure to be followed by the political parties for the purposes of electing and proposing the names of the kind of Members of Parliament provided for under Article 66(1)(b).
