Overt Act: Kitendo cha wazi

Overt Act: Prosecuting a charge of treason typically requires proof of an overt act—an open, observable action that demonstrates the treasonous intent

An overt act is translated into Swahili as tendo la wazi or kitendo cha wazi.
In legal contexts (such as criminal law, conspiracy, or treason), it refers to a clear, physical action done openly that proves a person's criminal intent, rather than just thinking or plotting about it secretly.

Key Meanings & Breakdown
    • Overt: -a wazi (open, visible, public)
    • Act: tendo or kitendo (an action or deed)
    • Overt act: tendo la wazi / kitendo cha wazi kinachoonyesha nia ovu au ya jinai
