The Speaker of the House of the People of the Federal Parliament of Somalia, Sheikh Adan Mohamed Nur (Madobe), has officially referred seat HOP#201 — currently held by MP Abdullahi Hashi Abiib — back to the Committee on Rules, Welfare, Ethics, and Privileges of the House for review and recommendations.
This decision was made amid the need for a thorough reassessment of the status of the seat. The committee is expected to provide legal guidance on the matter and return it to the House for final deliberation and decision.
The move comes at a time when questions are being raised about the legitimacy and transparency of certain parliamentary seats, sparking political tension and internal debate among stakeholders.
Further details are expected once the committee concludes its review and submits its report back to the House of the People.
