quest we now revert. To appreciate the existence of the fundamental right; a better understanding of Clubhouse is needed. According to Paragraph 2(a) of the petition and paragraph 2 of the affidavit in support of the petition; Clubhouse is an audio-based social media app that allows people everywhere to talk, tell stories, develop ideas, deepen friendships, and meet interesting new people around the world. The Petitioner stated that he relies on it to share and receive information. He particularly states th a t he has immensely benefited in the past in receiving updates of various information through the page of the Chief Government Spokesperson of the government of the United Republic of Tanzania. Since Clubhouse is used by the Petitioner to receive and disseminate information is there a fundamental right to access it? To answer the question aforementioned; one needs to revisit the Constitution of Tanzania; 1977, particularly, Article 18[1] and 18[2] of the Constitution. Under the official Swahili version of the Constitution; Article 18[1] provides thus: B la ya kuathiri sheria za nch, kila mtu yuko huru kuwa na maoni yoyote na kutoa nje mawazo yake, na kutafuta, kupokea na kutoa habari na dhana zozote kupitia chombo chochote bila ya kujali mipaka ya nchi, na pia ana uhuru wa mawasiliano yake kutoingiliwa kati. From the above quotation, it is undisputed that unless he is restricted by laws of the country, the Petitioner has 3 distinct fundamental rights under Article 18[1] that is to say, he has: a) Freedom of opinion and expression of his ideas; b) Right to seek, receive and, or disseminate information regardless of national boundaries; c) Freedom to communicate without interference from his communication. 9
