Abstract

This study examines the regulatory framework governing termination of public service employment in Tanzania, with emphasis on procedural fairness, impartiality, and alignment with international labour standards. The research problem arises from concerns about arbitrary dismissal, inadequate safeguards, and institutional weaknesses within the Public Service Act [Cap 298 R.E. 2023] and the Public Service Regulations, 2022. Using a doctrinal methodology, the study analyses statutory provisions, case law, and scholarly literature. Findings show inconsistencies in applying termination procedures, limited independence of dispute-settlement bodies, and procedural duplication between disciplinary authorities and appellate institutions. The study recommends legal reforms to enhance impartiality, strengthen institutional oversight, and harmonize domestic rules with international standards.
