New Row emerges in Somali parliament

Several Somali legislators held meeting in Somali capital Mogadishu to defend the Somali Parliament speaker Sharif Hassan against accusations leveled against him by some of their colleagues.
"The Parliament has rules that will punish any legislator who does not attend the meetings without reason and any member who says he will not attend the meetings will meet that law," said legislator Omar Islow who was addressing the media.
The legislators who met on Monday accused the Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed of not doing anything about the situation in the house, vowing not to attend the parliament meetings until the presidents.
They argued that some of the clauses, including that of implementing Sharia Law in the country, where passed without proper procedures.
"There is new motion against the government, that the Prime Minister to face the Parliament and ask for vote of confidence, if he doesn’t get the vote for the government, then a new Prime Minister must be appointed, “said Omar Isilow.
He adds that they are expecting the government to respond over the motion.
The lawmakers, who met Tuesday, have allegedly close relation with the Parliament speaker Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden, and he is using them to defend the Prime Minister.
The new disagreement within the parliamentarian has disrupted the house business and its likely that it will continue so long as the government avoids to face the vote of confidence.
