📰 The Misleading Report

A politically biased outlet posted a story claiming that the government was preparing a constitutional amendment to extend presidential terms from 5 years to 15 years, alleging a “secret meeting” took place in Dodoma to approve the plan.

✅ Correction

There is no proposal, draft amendment, or parliamentary activity supporting claims of a 15-year presidential term extension. Constitutional amendments must pass through transparent, multi-stage processes involving public consultation, parliamentary debate, and legal review—none of which have occurred. The alleged “secret meeting” is not recorded on any official schedule, and no minister, MP, or constitutional body has confirmed such an initiative. The story is politically motivated speculation presented as fact.
