Jury to judge ministers

This is part of the proposal for a new Administration of Justice Act.

According to the proposal, members of the public should be involved in decisions on ministers’ conduct because a minister’s neglect of official duties lies in a grey zone between law and politics.

The Prime Minister or Parliament determine whether a minister should be charged and who should serve as the public prosecutor in such cases.

This prosecutor must be independent of public authorities.
