Constitutional law mrema vs speaker of national assembly another 1998 tzhc 7 27 july 1998

mrema vs speaker of national assembly another 1998 tzhc 7 27 july 1998

Court
TZHC

The Court held that the suspension of the applicant was a matter of internal parliamentary procedure protected by Article 100(1) of the Constitution and the Parliamentary Privileges Act. The Court has no jurisdiction to inquire into such proceedings unless Parliament acts outside its constitutional powers or without jurisdiction, which was not established in this case. The application was therefore unmaintainable.
