AMISOM commander, Brig. Paul Lokech reportedly gave the Somali political leaders three options.
‘‘One option is that legislators accept with the executive that AMISOM takes charge of parliament’s security, or seek a neutral ground or in a worst case scenario, AMISOM pulls out and leaves the lawmakers to themselves,’‘ Brig Lokech said. The speaker’s remarks follows the suspension of House business after a meeting with Amisom. Amisom commander Gen Paul Lokech said they had agreed to suspend business for a period.
“We have come to an agreement that Parliament through the Speaker be suspended for a period of time,” said Lokech. “We as Amisom we shall take security of parliament until a time when the atmosphere is good for all of you to sit in your House and deliberate on the motions that you have.”
Lokech – who said during the meeting that he left the frontlines battle with Al-Shabaab to mediate in the conflict – said that the political stalemate has stalled the peacebuilding mission.
“Honourable Members of Parliament, you really know that we are here because there is an issue going on”…” the issue between Legislative and the arm of government which is Executive”.
He reminded the lawmakers and House Speakers that their duty is to the Somali people. He also
“Somalia is bigger than all of us, you must put the interest of Somali’s first.”
