Circumstances and persons concerned

The President or Vice-President may be prosecuted for high treason and for an offence involving dishonesty or moral turpitude, but no action may be brought against them in respect of any act or omission committed by them in the exercise of any of their official functions (Article 45 of the Constitution).

Modalities and procedure

In the case of high treason, they may be prosecuted on a charge preferred by the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General before the High Court upon a resolution of the parliament carried by a secret ballot and a majority of three fourths of the total number of members. The President or Vice-President may be prosecuted for an offence involving dishonesty or moral turpitude upon a charge preferred by the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General before the High Court with the leave of the President of the High Court.

Consequences

Upon being prosecuted, the President or Vice-President is suspended from the performance of any of their official functions. They are tried by the High Court; and on their conviction, their office becomes vacant and on their acquittal they resume their official functions.
