Legislative powers

Section 4(9) · 1999 Constitution (2004 edition)

What Constitution says

(9) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, the National Assembly or a House of Assembly shall not, in relation to any criminal offence whatsoever, have power to make any law which shall have retrospective effect.

This is the 1999 Constitution as published in 2004. Later amendments aren't included yet, so a section may have changed since.
