Motion to Impeach Somali President Farmajo Declared Invalid
2018-12-12
[All Africa] The Somali Lower House of Parliament has declared as invalid a motion seeking the impeachment of President Mohammed Abdullahi Farmajo.

The House Administrative Director, Mr Abdikarim Haji Abdi Buuh, on Tuesday issued the letter that could offer the besieged president a lifeline.

THRESHOLD
The letter, published by the mainstream and social media, is addressed to the Speaker of the Lower House, Mr Mohammed Mursal, and copied to his deputes, Mr Abdiweli Sheikh Ibrahim Mudey and Mahad Abdalla Awad.

It states that the motion submitted to the Speaker on December 9, by 92 politicians, did not meet signatories' threshold.

The document adds that some 14 MPs said to back it sent letters to Parliament's Administration Office, stating that their names were wrongly put in the list and that did not append their signatures.

"I have seen letters sent to the office by 14 MPs, stating they did not endorse the motion," reads the letter to the Speaker.

"They insist that their names and signatures were forged."
