@Christine good summation, the process has checks and balances. BTW do you work with the MOJ.
For the debate proper; politics seems to affect the way we think these days. Nobody cares to note that The Presidency is not involved in the matter in any way. Senator Saraki is not accused of forgery. It's not about him. The petition to the Police was written by ONE senator. The DPP Advice could set aside Police investigations. The court could also rules in fav I urge of the Clerk.
Personally I prefer the 'forged' Senate Rule. It is more accommodating.

Let me educate you guys on what happens to files when they are sent from the Police to the Ministry of Justice.
1. The file is sent to the Ministry of Justice by the Police to the Attorney General's office.
2. The A.G looks into the file to see which Department the file should go to. (in the instant case the file should go to the Department of Public Prosecutions (D.P.P.)).
3. The Director of Public Prosecutions will peruse the file and assign to a Counsel, giving him about a week to write a legal opinion.
4. The counsel writes the opinion. Sometimes he has other pending opinions to write so it might take him two weeks to submit. In the instant case the counsel will be warned to keep to time as the President has interest in the matter.
5. When the counsel is done with the writing of the opinion, he submits it on the table of the Chief Litigation Officer.
6. The Chief Litigation Officer takes the file to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
7. The Director of Public prosecution reads the opinion of the counsel, and thereafter assigns it through the Chief Litigation officer to another counsel (most times a senior to the 1st counsel) for his perusal and vetting giving him a week to vet.
8.The counsel takes about a week, sometimes two weeks (depending on his work load and his attitude towards work) to vet.
9. The counsel sends the file to the office of the Chief Litigation Officer for submission, after vetting.
10. The Chief Litigation officer sends the file back to the office of the Director of public Prosecutions.
11. The Director sends it to another counsel (mostly a Chief Counsel) for re-vetting after which he submits to the Chief Litigation officer who in turn submits to the D.P.P.
12. The D.P.P assigns the file to an Assistant Director for review within a week.
The Assistant Director reviews within a week or 2weeks and sends the file to the Office of the Chief Lit. Officer for submission.
13. The Chief Lit. Officer sends the file back to DPP.
14. The DPP sits down to study all the opinions and adopts the ones he wants to adopt and criticise the ones he disagrees with. He might even end up not adopting any of the opinions but have a different opinion entirely. (mind you all the opinions must be backed with authorities, that is cases and (or) Sections of the Law.
15. The DPP sends the file back to the office of the A.G.
16. The A.G uses his discretion to either adopt or oppose the Legal Opinion. His decision is final. He sends the file back to the DPP.
The DPP assigns the file to a counsel to draft a legal advice based on the DPP's Legal Opinion or the A.G's opinion if the A.G has a contrary Opinion.
17. When the counsel is done with the Legal Advice, he sends it back to the DPP through the Chief Lit. Officer.
18. The Director corrects the Legal advice and sends it back to the counsel to effect the corrections after which he signs the Legal advice and dispatch to the Police.
19. The Police cannot charge the suspect to a High Court without an Information which must be written by the Office of the DPP.
20. The DPP assigns a counsel to draft the information based on the recommendations of the DPP or AG in the Legal Opinion.
21. When the Counsel returns the Information to the DPP through the Chief Lit. Officer, the DPP re-assigns the Information (charge sheet) to another counsel for vetting. When the Director approves the Information, he signs and sends back to the Chief Litigation Officer for filing.
22. The information will be filed and the Defence Counsel is to be served with a copy by a court bailiff.
The above listed procedure can take 4 months to complete. Sometimes information is not filed till after a year (though the judges seriously frown at that and can grant a suspect who is in prison custody bail for lack of filing of information by the Govt counsel except in capital offences or very serious offences though bail can still be given in special circumstances).
My dear fellow Nairalanders, especially APC supporters, don't rejoice yet.
The journey has just begun.
It is well!!!

Lol what is the difference btw PUNCH and the NATION? If the senate clerk forged the 2015 senate rules can you please show me the original version of the 2015 senate rule before it was forged?

Both the police and the so-called unity forum senators have no case.Making the standing senate rules for the incomming NASS is the perogative of the senate bureacrats led by the clerk.It can however be amended within the life of that senate by 2/3 majority of the senators.The senate rule for any senate can only be in force for the life span of that senate after which it dies.That is why the senate rules are named after each senate 1999,2003,2007,2011 and 2015

If you want to challenge the powers of the NASS bureacrats to create the standing rules for the incomming senate simply go to court!!!! All this talks of forgery and alteration between the 2007 standing rule(which died with the 6th senate) and the new standing rule 2015 for the 8th senate is just laughable

Is this the best use of resources ? Investigating people for attending breaking of fast?

tkcosby02:

The 7th assembly came on board 2011 and the standing order was enacted or ammended 2007 which mean it was enacted by their predecessors. So what makes you think the standing order should end with thier tenure?

olalat:
Loosing goodwill! I guess from u people that never appreciate anything good. People who intergrity is strange to their culture. People with eroded ethical values. We voted him nd still blv in him. Hes nt perfect but can work towrds perfectg all d crumbs that our system is fraught with.

sheymoni:
The senate will remain stagnant with saraki as the president for the next 4 years. He seems to be having more problems from his party than the opposition . It is a self inflicted injury anyway

imhotep:

Why should I head to sambisa when some 1mbeciles in the army are smuggling arms to shekau while other 1mbeciles are covering for them in the name of isl@m.

Story !!! Story!!! Story!!! The standing rules for 2007 died with the 6th senate.ditto the standing rules for 2011.The standing rules for 1999,2003,2007,2011 and 2015 were all done by the NASS bureacrats led by the clerk.

The NATION newspaper is only doing what it knows best (propaganda).Anyone who really wants to challenge the power of the clerk and other NASS bureacrats to make the standing rules for each NASS should go to court.

Mentioning the senate standing rules for 2007 which ended in 2011 is laughable to say the least.

Senate standing rules 1999,2003,2007,2011 and 2015 are unique and differant and each died(or will die) with the particular senate for which it was made.

Whether the senate rules 2007 and 2011 contains similar rules is immaterial.The fact remains that each set of standing rules died with the respective senate for which it was made
