The motion against Somali Lower House speaker, Mohamed Osman Jawari will be tabled before the parliament next week to decide its fate, officials confirmed on Sunday.
In a statement, the first Deputy Speaker of the parliament, Abdiweli Sheikh Mudey said the lawmakers will debate on the proposition on Saturday.
“The session of house is scheduled to take place on Saturday (31st March). The agenda of the session will be the motion against the speaker of the house of the people, Mr. Mohamed Osman Jawari” reads the statement.
Dozens of Somali parliamentarians have appended their signatures to motion against Jawari who was accused of abuse of power, corruption and stifling of rights of MPs to debate.
Mr. Jawari who initially dismissed the legality of the motion, had rescinded saying the motion had acquired its quorum threshold and can proceed ahead.
The speaker has been holding the office since the beginning of the post Transitional Federal Government in 2012.
The mounting political crisis between Prime Minister Hassan Khaire and speaker Jawari had spilled into public after the speaker who addressed the media accused the government of interference.
