On April 30th, 2025, TANLAP had the honor of attending a crucial parliamentary session where the Ministry of Constitution and Legal Affairs presented its budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

This session served as a powerful platform to highlight the urgent need for sustainable support and funding for legal aid providers and paralegals. We were encouraged to hear strong backing from several Members of Parliament in favor of establishing a dedicated legal aid fund an initiative that aligns with TANLAP’s mission to ensure access to justice for all, especially the most vulnerable.

At TANLAP, we continue to emphasize the importance of a legal aid fund as a tool to empower providers and uphold the rule of law. The growing recognition of legal aid’s role in promoting social justice is a promising step forward.

We commend the Ministry and Parliament for their dedication and urge continued action to make the legal aid fund a reality. TANLAP stands ready to collaborate with all stakeholders to ensure justice is accessible, fair, and equitable for everyone.
