PARTIES CALL FOR BAN OF DEPUTY'S IMMUNITY

Most of the nine parties running in the elections by party
lists said during political debates on Khabar TV on 7th October
that they were in favour of the removal of deputy's immunity
from MPs, Interfax-Kazakhstan news agency reported the same day
. The agency said that a representative of the Fatherland Party
had spoken against this because, in his view, its abolition
"will hamper deputies in performing their duties" and "in
relations with executive bodies of power and in controversial
and conflict situations".
