Saraki, Dogara won’t benefit from immunity - Reps


The House of Represenatives explained that the proposed immunity was not to shield anybody, rather it was to stop unnecessary distractions of the presiding officers from the other arms of government, stating that the Senate President, his deputy, as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives and his deputy, will not be beneficiaries of the proposed immunity for the presiding officers of the National Assembly in the ongoing constitutional amendment.

Chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Abdulrazak Namdas, while addressing journalists yesterday said, “Even if the immunity is passed, the incumbent can’t enjoy it. We want to guard against distractions. The National Assembly is distracted now. It is for the future, so, there is nothing wrong for leaders to enjoy it.”
