ILO Reaffirms Commitment to Labor Justice Amid Judicial Transition

Dar es Salaam. The International Labour Organization (ILO) has reiterated its dedication to enhancing labor fairness and advancing social equity in Tanzania during a send-off and welcoming event hosted at Kazi House in Dar es Salaam.

The ceremony recognized Judge Mlyambina for his contributions within the Labor Division of Tanzania's Supreme Court and introduced Honorable Judge Kerekamajenga as the new judge assigned to the division.

It gathered delegates from the Judiciary, Government, employer and worker groups, the legal community, development allies, and the ILO, all of whom praised the departing judge's efforts and emphasized the significance of ongoing collaboration in promoting labor justice.

During the event, Caroline Mugalla, the ILO Representative for Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda, emphasized the partnership between the ILO and the Judicial system in advancing fair labor practices and social equity.

"A robust labor justice system is essential for promoting fair employment and social equity. The ILO highly appreciates its enduring collaboration with the Tanzanian judiciary, which has improved access to justice, encouraged adherence to workers' rights, and helped build more inclusive and stable labor market structures," she stated.

Ms. Mugalla mentioned that the organization anticipates enhancing the collaboration to assist employees, business owners, and governmental initiatives aimed at creating a more equitable workplace environment.

She further praised Judge Mlyambina for his guidance in enhancing labor legal frameworks, highlighting his involvement in projects carried out together with the ILO, such as the release of Labor Court Division court decisions and training programs designed to enhance uniformity in handling labor conflicts.

The ILO expressed appreciation for Hon Justice Kerekamajenga, highlighting its dedication to maintaining collaboration with the Judicial branch in improving access to labor justice, boosting organizational capabilities, and assisting in the enforcement of global labor norms.

The group pointed out that the shift in leadership occurs during a period where labor markets are quickly changing because of technology advancements, environmental changes, population trends, and emerging work arrangements, emphasizing the importance of flexible and easy-to-access labor justice frameworks.

Attendees of the gathering emphasized that continuous communication between the Judicial branch, government bodies, employer associations, worker groups, and developmental allies continues to be essential for establishing robust labor market structures that encourage equity, confidence, and long-term economic progress.

The ILO restated its backing for Tanzania's Decent Work Initiative, emphasizing its dedication to enhancing labor justice systems that enforce the rule of law, safeguard workplace rights, and foster fair and inclusive job markets.
