 At meetings of the National Legislative Assembly, every Member has the right to interpellate a Minister in any matter which relates to the work under his duty, but the Minister does have the right to withhold the answer when he finds that the matter should not yet be disclosed for it relates to the safety or important benefit of the State, or when he finds that the interpellation is prohibited by a regulation.

When there is an important problem, Members of the National Legislative Assembly numbering not less than one hundred may subscribe and introduce a motion to open a debate for interrogating the Council of Ministers as to the facts, but no resolution of confidence or no confidence shall be passed.

In the case that there is an important problem relating to the administration of the public services of the State, regarding which the Council of Ministers finds it appropriate to hear opinions of Members of the National Legislative Assembly, the Prime Minister may apply to the President of the National Legislative Assembly for opening a general debate at a meeting of the National Legislative Assembly. In such case, the National Legislative Assembly shall not pass a resolution upon the problem debated.

At meetings of the National Legislative Assembly, it is an absolute privilege for anyone to utter any word in such a way as to state a fact, or express an opinion, or cast a vote. It shall not be taken as a ground for filing a proceeding or denunciation against him in any manner.

The privilege provided in paragraph 1 shall also extend its protection to the members of the committees of the National Legislative Assembly, the persons who print or publish meeting proceedings upon order of the National Legislative Assembly or a committee, the persons who are permitted by the president of a meeting to state facts or express opinions at the meeting of the National Legislative Assembly, as well as the persons who broadcast meetings of the National Legislative Assembly through broadcasting radio, or broadcasting television, or any other means upon permission of the President of the National Legislative Assembly. But it does not protect a Member of the National Legislative Assembly who utters [any] word at a meeting which is broadcast through broadcasting radio, broadcasting television, or any other means, if the word so uttered at the meeting appears outside the precincts of the National Legislative Assembly and the utterance of such a word is characteristic of a criminal offence or violates a civil right of another person than a Minister or Member of the National Legislative Assembly.

In the case that a Member of the National Legislative Assembly is held in custody or detention, his release shall be ordered upon request of the President of the National Legislative Assembly, or when a criminal case is filed against him, the court shall be able to proceed with the trial of the case, save where the President of the National Legislative Assembly requests a stay of the trial.
