Roland Brown is an English barrister who served as the first Attorney General of Tanzania.[1]
Early life and career
Brown was a part time lecturer at Trinity College at the University of Cambridge. He was appointed as a constitutional adviser to Julius Nyerere, the leader of the Tanganyika Territory's independence movement.[2]
Tanzania
In 1961, he was appointed as the first Attorney General of independent Tanganyika, succeeding J. S. R. Cole. However, he was not a member of the cabinet.[3] After the revolution that overthrew the neighbouring Sultanate of Zanzibar in 1964, Nyerere is said to have asked him to draft a union agreement in the strictest confidence between Tanganyika and the new state of the People's Republic of Zanzibar and Pemba.[4] In 1965, he was succeeded by Mark Bomani.
Following the 1967 Arusha Declaration, Brown was given three days to prepare a bill for the nationalization of private owned banks in the country.[5]
