"content": "”, they were opposing selective prosecution. They said if Parliament has to hold people accountable, it should not be selective. I stand here to look at whether this House has complied with the Constitution. That is Article 150(2) on removal of the Deputy President from office. The grounds for impeachment are set out in Article 145. Pursuant to Article 145, it is purely a political process, but bound by law, especially Article 25(c), which requires that somebody should be given a fair hearing. The removal of a Deputy President from office, by impeachment, on any grounds under Article 145 is a grave matter that involves overturning the sovereign will of the people as expressed in a democratic election. Even more profoundly, it means that the person so removed is prohibited for life from enjoying the rights under Article 38(3)(c), to vie for, be elected, and hold office. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
