Abstract:The conclusion of the article, based on the precedents which have been recalled in the discussion, is that the right to counsel, constitutionally guaranteed in Kenya and Uganda, is reasonably well protected in these countries and in Tanzania. There remain, however, three respects in which this basic civil right could be made more secure: 1. the exclusion of advocates from the Primary Courts of Tanzania should be ended; 2. the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Codes should be amended to make it clear that the right to counsel's advice operates at an early stage of the criminal process; 3. national schemes of legal aid and advice on a adequate basis should be established by the East African Parliaments.
