Uchochezi: Definition and explanation Sir JAMES STEPHEN defined a seditious intention as “an intention to bring into hatred or contempt, or to excite disaffection against, the person of his Majesty, his heirs or successors, or the Government and the constitution of the United Kingdom by law established, or either House of Parliament, or the administration of Justice or to excite his Majesty’s subjects to attempt otherwise than by lawful means, the alteration of any matters in Church or State by law established…..or to raise discontent or disaffection amongst his Majesty’s subjects, or to promote feelings of ill will and Hostility between different classes of such subjects.” Maelezo But an intention to show that his Majesty has been mislead or mistaken in his measures to point out errors or defects in the government or constitution, as by law established with a view to their reformation, or to excite his Majesty’s subjects to attempt by lawful means the alteration of any matter in Church or State by law established, or to point out, in order to their removal, matters which are producing, or have a tendency to produce, feelings of hatred and ill will between classes of His Majesty’s subjects, is not a seditious intention. It is the right of every citizen to discuss public affairs fully and freely but such discussions must not be directed to the incitement of unlawful acts or calculated to excite disaffection. In a twentieth century prosecution for sedition, the Judge told the jury that they could take into account the State of Public feelings. Section 49: Seditious intention Tanzania This section defines seditious intention in sweepingly broad terms as “an intention to bring into hatred or contempt or to excite disaffection against the lawful authority of the Government of the United Republic”.
