Kenya’s National Assembly to vote on bills extending terms, offering them immunity from prosecution

Speaker of the national Assembly Justin Muturi

NAIROBI: MPs plan to vote on two constitutional bills, one extending their terms by four months and the other keeping them safe from prosecution.

The Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill No 1 , which seeks to change the date of the election from August to December, will come for a re-vote tomorrow, on the same day as the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill No 2, that will cushion members from the long arm of the law in the course of performing their parliamentary functions.
