Parliamentary rules changed to expedite vice president’s impeachment
28 Jun 2015, 7:56 PM
A parliament sub-committee last night approved changes to the People’s Majlis rules of procedure to fast-track the process of impeaching the vice president.
The new rules state the parliament can vote on a no-confidence motion in the vice president without an investigation.
The changes will be put to a vote at tomorrow’s sitting.
The constitution gives the parliament the discretion to establish a select committee to investigate accusations against the president or vice-president.
