High Court right to rule OSP Act cannot override Constitution – Dr Srem-Sai
Justice Srem-Sai Deputy Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, has defended the High Court's recent ruling on the powers of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), insisting that the court correctly held that the OSP Act cannot override the Constitution.
He argued that the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act is an ordinary Act of Parliament and therefore cannot alter the constitutional powers vested exclusively in the Attorney-General under Article 88 of the 1992 Constitution.
He also rejected suggestions that the High Court had erred in concluding that the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act could not supersede the Constitution.
