Granting immunity to nass leaders amounts to breaking the law serap

You're referring to the recent controversy surrounding the granting of immunity to some leaders of the National Assembly Service Commission (NASS) in Nigeria.

Yes, granting immunity to NASS leaders without due process and in violation of the law can be seen as a breach of the law. The Constitution of Nigeria provides that the National Assembly shall have the power to make laws for the peace, order, and good government of the Federation, but it also provides that the National Assembly shall not have the power to grant immunity to itself or its members.

In Nigeria, the law provides that the President, Vice President, Governors, and Deputy Governors are immune from prosecution while in office, but this immunity does not extend to members of the National Assembly. The law also provides that the National Assembly shall have the power to investigate and impeach its members for misconduct, and that any member who is found guilty of misconduct shall be removed from office.

Granting immunity to NASS leaders without due process and in violation of the law can be seen as an attempt to undermine the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary. It can also be seen as an attempt to protect corrupt officials from accountability and to undermine the fight against corruption.

It is important to note that the granting of immunity to NASS leaders is not only a violation of the law, but it is also a violation of the principles of transparency and accountability. The public has a right to know how their leaders are conducting themselves in office, and they have a right to hold them accountable for their actions.

In conclusion, granting immunity to NASS leaders without due process and in violation of the law is a breach of the law and a violation of the principles of transparency and accountability. It is important that the government and the National Assembly take steps to ensure that the law is upheld and that the principles of transparency and accountability are respected.
