PHILIPSBURG--Democratic Party ((DP)) leader Member of Parliament (MP) Sarah Wescot-Williams has set out to get clarity on whether the law on the prosecution of politicians “needs more fleshing out.” She intends to write to Justice Minister Edson Kirindongo to establish this as well as whether the recent interpretation of the law by the Joint Court of Justice is an “internal” policy or guideline.

The law in question was brought into focus with the arrest on independent MP Silvio Matser on March 2.
