MPs have passed a Bill that takes away the Attorney General's privilege of serving at the pleasure of the President.

If the Bill becomes law, the AG will now be answerable and serving at the discretion of Parliament and he can be hounded out of office in a similar fashion as heads of other constitutional offices such as the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
