The arrest of the ex-foreign minister raised a parliamentary immunity dispute

Evidence

Egal has not brought anything new and therefore there was still much to argue about, but for the lack of will to not appear to defend the traitor, no one wanted to speak. I, however, had to speak and criticized Haji Mussa Bagor, who in his speech stigmatized anyone who would try to defend a man who was considered guilty of being a traitor only because he was a deputy. Haji Mussa either did not understand anything or he spoke in bad faith because no one defended the accused but only tried to understand the truth of the justification of the arrest in relation to the immunity of parliamentarians. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 982
