Kuvendi

The Kuvendi (literal meaning: "Assembly") is the national legislature of Arushia. Since its creation in the 1860s, the Kuvendi has had little formal or practical power. Any decision which the body makes must be subsequently approved by the King and most of the legislature is composed of individuals loyal (or beholden) to the King. Even so, the government must formally retain the confidence of the Kuvendi and the body has the power to issue a motion of no confidence, which invites the King to remove them from power.
