A constitutional review that is underway in Tanzania may lead to the passage of a bill that would enable Omanis who have roots in that country avail dual citizenship, according to President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, whose visit to Oman concluded on Friday.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Kikwete said Oman is the only country in the world whose citizens are related to many in Tanzania. I meet somebody from Oman and he says my relatives are in Tanzania. No country I have visited has such a relationship. Oman is a very special country for Tanzania, which is why consolidation and advancing of these relations is the top priority of the diplomacy of Tanzania, Kikwete said.
He said his country is conducting a constitutional review during which dual citizenship will be considered. We are now in the process of doing a constitutional review and dual citizenship is one of the things that will be discussed. We have so many people of Tanzanian origin who have acquired citizenship of other countries. If the dual citizenship bill is passed, Omanis of Tanzanian origin can now have the liberty to reclaim the citizenship of their ancestral home country.
