Federal Republic of Somalia
House of the People
Office of Hon. Abdillahi Hashi Abib
Press Release
———–

Dishonorable Speaker,

It is with profound dismay, anger, and unwavering resolve that I categorically reject your unconstitutional, unlawful, and politically motivated expulsion order against me. Your letter (GSH/B11/069125) dated on March 15, 2025, is NULL and VIOD, issued in direct violation of the Somali Constitution, parliamentary procedures, and the fundamental principles of democracy.

Your egregious abuse of power – executed at the behest of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and his corrupt associates (Minister of Education, State Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Finance, Minister of Planning and Governor of Central Bank) – is a direct attack on the legitimacy of the Federal Parliament.

Instead of upholding the law and serving the people, you have reduced yourself to an agent of Villa Somalia, exchanging parliamentary integrity for personal financial gain. Your unlawful decree disregards the very foundation of Somalia’s legislative framework, including but not limited to:

1. Article 69 of the Provisional Constitution, which safeguards the independence of Members of Parliament and prohibits coercion, intimidation, or expulsion without due process.

2. Article 70, which states that any disciplinary action against an MP must be subject to formal motion, parliamentary debate, and 2/3 a majority vote – a process you blatantly ignored.

3. Article 71, which grants MPs legislative immunity from precisely the kind of executive overreach and political persecution you are engaged in.

4. The Rules of Parliamentary Procedure, which unequivocally deny the Speaker any unilateral authority to expel a sitting MP without parliamentary approval.

Your reckless disregard for these provisions is an unprecedented breach of duty. By violating the Constitution and the rules of Parliament, you have effectively forfeited any moral, ethical, and legal claim to the Speaker’s chair.

Your illegal expulsion letter is merely one example of your broader pattern of corruption. Your illegal decision is nothing more than a desperate attempt to eliminate a legislator who has refused to be bought, silenced, or intimidated.
