The Attorney General, Hon. Hamza S. Johari, has directed the Tanzania Public Bar Association (TPBA) to continue implementing its strategic plan and to manage the association well, so that it becomes one of the leading professional bodies in the country, known for competence and for the ethics of the legal profession.

Hon. Johari stressed that State Attorneys must take the lead in educating the public about the "post-truth" era, a time in which people are more drawn to falsehoods and fabrications than to facts.

He also noted that false and fabricated information spreads much faster than accurate information. He urged State Attorneys to develop strategies to counter this trend.

He further emphasized that the association must deliver significant benefits to the public.

For his part, the President of the Tanzania Public Bar Association (TPBA), Hon. Bonaventure Pardon Mwambaja, said the association has received the Attorney General's directives. He said they will organize themselves and put in place strategies to carry out everything Hon. Johari has instructed.

Hon. Mwambaja also announced that the association is preparing a public awareness programme on the post-truth phenomenon and the serious harm it poses to the Tanzanian nation.

"We continue to implement the directives of Her Excellency Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of the United Republic of Tanzania. Hon. Johari has reaffirmed these directives: to reach disadvantaged citizens and to keep providing legal aid services to people in every part of the country," said Hon. Mwambaja.
