Mogadishu (RBC) Former Somalia Constitution Minister MP Abdurahman Hosh Jibril has robustly dismissed allegations from Puntland president who recently claimed that the federal provisional constitution of the country has been changed.
The former minister of constitution, who is currently member of the country’s federal parliament said those who argue that the constitution changes are only seeking to incite political chaos in Somalia.
“The process to draft and adopt the constitution has been ongoing since 2004.” the former minister said. “Anyone argues that the constitution was changed illegally are making baseless statement.” he added.
MP Abdurahman Hosh Jibril said the legation from the leader if the semi-autonomous region of Puntland was only meant to cover up the political and security instabilities in his region.
“Farole is trying to turn the eyes of the people from the chaos and instability in his region so that he is making baseless allegations against the constitution.” MP Hosh added.
Puntland has been repeatedly alleging against the federal government of Somalia that it has illegally unlawfully amended the constitution and that it has removed at least 31 article from the draft of the provisional constitution.
The allegation was strongly rebuffed by the speaker of Somalia’s Federal Parliament Mohamed Osman Jawari saying no changes was made within the draft of the constitution.
