QUESTIONS OF LEGITIMACY Many questions continued to be raised regarding the legal basis of the union: Whether the two presidents on their own had the powers to sign such a union agreement; why the Zanzibar’s attorney-general, as the principal legal advisor to the government, was not consulted; why there was no referendum; and whether in joining such a union, Zanzibar was not in fact ‘swallowed’ and ‘annexed’ by Tanganyika.
Kwa kutumia suala la OIC, maadui wa Muungano wamewadanganya na kuwaaminisha Wazanzibari kuwa Zanzibar inazuiwa kufanya chochite wakitakacho hadi wapate ridhaa ya Tanganyia. Ukweli ni kuwa hakuna suala ambalo Zanzibar wanalokataliwa kilifanya kama sio suala la Muungano na kwa masuala ya Muungano kuna vyombo vya Muungano kulishughulikia.
