By NDUNG'U GACHANEMore by this AuthorNandi Senator Samson Cherargei now wants governors offered immunity from prosecution while in office. Mr Cherargei says the country should borrow [a leaf] from Nigeria where the sitting president, deputy president and governors cannot be charged. CHARGESThe senator, a lawyer, says the charging of three sitting governors, and the subsequent ruling by Justice Mumbi Ngugi that they should not access their offices, is part of a plot to strangle devolution. That’s why I propose a change to the Constitution to give county chiefs immunity against any form of prosecution." It’s not the work of courts, the DCI or DPP, which has become the Directorate of Political Persecution,” he said.
