President should shield us from MPs’ bad plot

MPs have the proclivity to forget their bitter political differences when dealing with matters of their interest. Although they are known to disagree on virtually everything, when it comes to issues that touch on their welfare, Parliament usually has no Jubilee or Opposition MPs - they all speak in one loud voice.

The legislators are at it again. On Wednesday, they joined hands and overwhelmingly voted to shield themselves and members of county assemblies from prosecution for anything that they do “in good faith” while on duty in and outside the chambers.
