The Speaker of the Upper House of the Somali Parliament, Mr. Abdi Hashi Abdullahi, has issued a critical statement against seven members of the Judicial Service Council recently signed by the outgoing President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed (Farmajo).
The letter from Abdi Hashi's office said that the law signed by the president was illegal and contradicted the constitutional provisions regarding the formation of the Judicial Service Council.
The speaker of the upper house of the federal parliament of Somalia also added that the parliament on November 22nd sent a resolution to the upper house approving seven members of the Judicial Service Council, including the chairman of the Supreme Court & National Attorney.
Abdi Hashi accused the outgoing president of violating the country's laws, especially the judicial system.
The statement comes as the law was signed by the president without the approval of the senators of the upper house of parliament, and this will further strengthen the rift between the chairman of the house and the leadership of Villa Somalia.
