Somali second deputy Speaker of Somali parliament Osman Elmi Boqore accused his speaker Sheikh Adan Madobe of non-cooperation in the matters concerning the legislature.

Bogore said Sheikh Madobe makes unilateral decisions, adding that he requested President Sharif Sheikh Sheikh Ahmed to intervene and solve the issues.  

“The speaker does not consult with deputies including me, he unilaterally make decisions which I receive through media,”

“I sent a protest note to the president to solve this matter, which seems to be getting out of hands. I am waiting for reply,” he added.

Boqore said he had similar disagreement with Sheikh Madobe even at the time of Col. Abdullahi Yussuf’s government.

On the other hand, Boqore accused the speaker of refusing to reopen the parliament because the lawmakers have prepared a motion against him. 

Sheikh Madobe, who is currently out of the country for official duties in Turkey, is yet to reply the accusations.
