Honorable Vice President of the Tanganyika Law Society,
Honorable Honorary Treasurer and Members of the
Governing Council,
Distinguished Members, Officers and Staff of the Secretariat,
Invited Guests, Professional Colleagues, Friends, Ladies and
Gentlemen Present,
On behalf of your Governing Council, please allow me the
pleasure of welcoming you all to Dar es Salaam. And while
on it, please accept our heartfelt apologies for all the
inconveniences you may have suffered, for the sacrifices in
your valuable time and resources you will have necessarily
made to be able to attend here today. We know the
Notice for the Meeting has been short. We are very much
aware that Dar es Salaam, the venue of this Meeting, is not
the most ideal for most of you, even for those of us who live
2
and work in this Metropolis. We are alive to the costs you
must have incurred to make the trip and to stay here
specifically for this Meeting.
Yet, this is what emergencies always are like. They come not
because we wish them to come, or we choose the moment
of their arrival, but because they are forced on us by events
often beyond our control.
