If the constitution gives three MPs to every region then why does Somaliland that constitutes of 5 regions has only 11 MPs while 3x5=15 or PL that constitutes only of 2 regions has 11 MP's. Why do JL and SWS which both constitute of 3 regions have only 8 seats in upper house each? Why does HS and GM that constitute of only 2 regions have both 8 seats? So every state is already breaking the constitution or what you wrote is just fiction.@Ayubi Somalia had 18 provinces as of 1991 and the previous government of Hassan Sheikh introduced a new system for the upper house which was eventually agreed upon by political stakeholders of the country.
According to the constitution, each region has 3 MPs in the senate. That would be 18x3= 54 MPs.
The senate MPs cannot exceed beyond that magic number. Federal member states will get more seats depending on the number of regions they control.
But the current ruling of giving 1 REGION 13 seats is beyond insanity. It's literally UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
THE CONSTITUTION SAYS each region can have maximum of 3 MPs and the mooryaans disregarded it.
Some Hawiye members are joyously celebrating this decision but soon or later the chickens will come home to roast. Puntland, Jubaland and even K/Galbeed are firmly opposing this motion and it won't be pretty. It will be declared Null and void soon.
