The Deputy Attorney General, Dr Justice Srem-Sai has condemned in no uncertain terms the exploitation of constitutional provision that protects parliamentarians against defamation when they vent within the premises of the parliament.
He expressed discontentment over how some Members of Parliament deliberately exploit this law to make unguarded statements on national issues.
Registering his frustration on the matter on his 'X' account on March 23, 2025, Justice Srem-Sai detailed the true intent of this law. "The Constitution grants MPs some protection against defamation suits.
By the law literature, the purpose of this protection is to enhance the quality of good faith parliamentary debate.
