East Africa: Region criticised over human rights

Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have been accused of dragging their feet on incorporating the Bill of Human Rights in their constitutions despite ratifying relevant international laws.Addressing a judges’ seminar on human rights in Kilifi, Prof Chris Peter Maina of the University of Dar-es-Salaam, said though the Tanzania government had accepted the Bill of Rights in 1984, it had not domesticated it fully.
