The National Assembly is set to begin the process of constitution
amendment towards ensuring immunity for heads of the three arms of
government.
To also benefit from the immunity, when the constitution is amended,
are the Deputy Senate President, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, his deputy and the Chief Justice of the Federation,
CJN.
The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, was recently docked by the
Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, over the alleged falsification in his
asset declaration over 10 years ago.
The trial of the Senate President has attracted criticism, even as
some have alleged that his trial was a political witch-hunt, following
his alleged stubbornness in contesting for the position of the Senate
presidency, contrary to party decision.
Worried by what have been described as constant external influence
and manipulations in the choice of presiding officers of the National
Assembly, the lawmakers are set to begin the process of amending the
1999 Constitution to include the Senate President and his deputy, the
Speaker of the House of Representatives and his deputy as well as the
Chief Justice of the Federation in the immunity.
This hint was dropped by the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Mr. Leo Ogor, who exclusively told Vanguard
that if the head of the executive arm, the President, and his vice
should enjoy immunity, the heads of the other two arms of government,
the legislature and the judiciary, should also benefit from the
immunity.
This, Ogor reasoned, would reduce distractions and crisis in the
National Assembly as well as put a stop to the frequent change of the
presiding officers as a result of external influence.
