Section 34 of the National Assembly Powers and Privileges Act, Chapter 12 of the Laws of Zambia reads:

" Neither the Assembly, the Speaker nor any officer shall be subject to the jurisdiction of any court in respect of the exercise of any power conferred on or vested in the Assembly, the Speaker or such officer by or under the Constitution, the Standing Orders and the Act."

Besa Musonda is Zambian studying law at a British University. He wants to know how it has been possible, in the light of the said statutory provision, for the Zambian courts to entertain and grant the necessary remedies in cases involving the National Assembly and the Speaker such as Fred M'membe, Bright Mwape & Another v the Speaker of the National Assembly [1996] 1 LCR 584; and The People v The Speaker of the National Assembly, Ex parte Dr. Ludwig Sondashi SCZJ No. 6 of 2003.

Explain to him.
