The
House of Representatives on Wednesday passed 85 new clauses to the
1999 Constitution (as amended), among which was the rejection of
immunity for the President and state governors facing criminal
charges.
By
the new provision on immunity, the President, Vice-President,
governors and their deputies will vacate office, if convicted of any
criminal offence.
A
total of 339 out of the 360 members of the House voted on Wednesday
to pass the clauses.
Am
not a lawyer so maybe someone can help me. How can you convict
someone who cannot stand for trial? If that person isn't around, I
understand but when the person is around, then I don't know. I hope they also know it applies to them if they ever get elected to any of these positions. Hehe. Life
.
