ABSTRACT
In modern democracies, legislatures have numerous duties. As key states organs, they examine the legislative proposals in the process of their passage and are entrusted with overseeing executive’s responsibilities and to keep their eyes on government’s activities. Legislative committee system is the most critical structure that permits the members of legislators to divide up their labour and specialize in particular areas of activities. It is therefore the most significant legislative mechanism and is often referred to as the mini legislatures of their parent bodies. There is a tendency around the world to rely on committees for implementing much of the legislatures activities and this is because in legislative democracies, the committee systems assume great importance since legislatures by their very nature, cannot have complete oversight over governments and all their activities. In this regard, Zanzibar is not an exception. Being a partner state with Tanganyika to form the United Republic of Tanzania, it has had familiarity with committee system since 1979 when the House of Representatives of Zanzibar was established.
