Speaker of National Assembly, Nelly Mutti has ruled that Matero Member of Parliament Miles Sampa’s stay in the house is subject to court interpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker says the house has no jurisdiction over the matter and that until the judicial process takes course, Mr. Sampa enjoys the full privileges of Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She says the Legislature should therefore not be dragged to interpret the law, hence the autonomy of the Judiciary should be left to preside over Mr. Sampa’s matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ruling has, however, unsettled some lawmakers who are against the outcome of the ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
