MOGADISHU, 06 Dec. 2014 (Qalin) - The Somalia parliament is set to its most sensitive session in the last twelve months on Saturday and will vote for "a no confidence motion" against the incumbent Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed.
The President of Somalia Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and his PM Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed were in critical conflict for the last 7 weeks over their constitutional powers and their dispute paralysed the routine business of both the cabinet, the parliament and the security institutions of the government.
The dispute started in October 25, 2014 when the PM made a brief reshuffle of the cabinet, which affected Minister of Justice Farah Abdulkader, a strong and close ally of the president and the president rejected the reshuffle.
The Pro President Parliament members singed a motion of no confidence against the PM and the Pro PM members of the House destabilized the parliaments last three sessions that would discuss the controversial motion against the incumbent PM Abdiweli.
If the PM votes out the PM he will become the second PM of the current government in 2 years and makes the number of the Somalia PMs since the year 2000 into ten.
If the PM survives the no confidence vote, which 138 members of the House signed it will be another complications for the government, because the President and the PM played their conflict as deep as individual conflict instead of constitutional conflict. The decision hangs the balance until the parliament vote decides the winner.
