GOVERNMENT

ARMS OF THE GOVERNMENT

The Central/Federal Government has three arms: The Legislature/Senate/East African Legislature, the Judiciary and the Executive.

The order of power establishment is as follows: The people elect their Mayoral Representatives (Senators) who are each accorded a major city(with more than 100,000 people) and its immediate neighbouring territory as designated in the founding declaration; the senators then elect from among them one person to take on the position of Prime Minister (The First Mwalimu). The Prime Minister is the overall head of FREA and he or she takes on command over the executive and the centralised Defence Forces that defend the peace and unity.

A Prime Minister will serve for a maximum of two terms and each term shall last five years which is also the length of term of the each Senator.

Each Federal State will retain its own Ceremonial President rotated from one the leaders of the native cultural institutions (Kingdoms and chiefdoms) within its borders. This ceremonial president will be responsible for formalisation of key decisions of Parliament especially the elected prime Minister.

The Legislature shall be absolutely centralised to be a full Legislature for the entire East African Community. It shall be based in Arusha where the Administrative Capital of FREA shall be.

The legislative branch will hold supremacy over all other branches of government. Each East African country will send Members of Parliament (MPs) from their constituencies. These MPs will, in turn, elect the Chief Mwalimu, or Prime Minister, who will hold the highest office in the land.

Both the Judiciary and the Executive will be directly accountable to Parliament. Members of the Judiciary will be appointed by Parliament, with candidates' names being forwarded from the existing judicial system, but the final decision resting with Parliament. The Executive, composed of Ministers, will be appointed by the Chief Mwalimu, who will have been elected by Parliament.

Thus, Parliament will be established as the most superior body in the land, overseeing both the Judicial and Executive branches.

The three arms of government will have distinct roles. The legislature will be responsible for making laws, serving as the supreme decision-making body in the land, and overseeing both the executive and the judiciary. The executive will focus on planning and implementing national plans, ensuring all initiatives align with long-term national goals. It will also handle the defense of the country, with the national army under its control. Meanwhile, the judiciary will enforce the law, punish lawbreakers, and control the police and criminal investigation systems.

The Centralised General Defence Forces under the Executive shall be the Ground Forces, the Air force, Navy and Intelligence Agencies. The Power to declare war shall be vested in the Head of State the Prime Minister.

Police, Prisons, and Criminal Investigation Agencies shall all be under the Judiciary.

The Legislature shall retain direct command(by vote) over all Special Forces and the power of mobilisation or expansion of the Army.

To limit the power of the legislature, digital elections will be implemented for parliamentary seats. This approach aims to make elections more affordable and to ensure that members of parliament remain closely connected to society. With a proposed two-year term for parliamentarians, the system will prevent the buying of votes and keep representatives grounded in their communities. Although the parliament will have the authority to pass any law, it will not have the power to alter laws that directly affect its own operation. Changes to parliamentary term limits, powers, or parliamentary budgets will require a vote by the entire country, ensuring rigorous oversight and preventing self-serving legislation.

No city is allowed to carry out its own public constructions. Rather, each city is supposed to procure a Chapter from another major city to carry out this work.
