Part II (A) of the Criminal Procedure Act of Tanzania outlines the procedures relating to criminal investigations (Tanzania 1985). Article 10 (2) provides information on written police orders, and (2A) indicates the penalties for failing to comply when summoned (ibid.). A copy of Part II of the act is attached to this Response.
Information on the application of these articles as well as on the appearance of police orders could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate within the time constraints of this Response.
