Tanzania's Registration, Insolvency and Trusteeship Agency tracked over 5,200 registered trustee boards across the country, with most of them running community and religious groups. Administrator General Frank Kanyusi broke down the numbers at a recent Dodoma meeting, showing 19 boards for political parties, 24 for sports groups, and 150 family boards on the books.
The agency deals with boards that mess up asset management, ignore legal requirements, and fight over leadership changes. Constitutional and Legal Affairs Minister Juma Homera told trustees to follow the rules when handling community resources, while pushing RITA to upgrade its digital registration system and expand training programs.
RITA launched back in 2006 after splitting from the Attorney General's office, and its digital platform made tracking new board registrations way easier. The agency handles life event records, trustee incorporation, and protects property from deceased people or minors.
