MOGADISHU (Sunatimes) The parliament should be committed in implementing the country’s law and must not be part of the problem, Somalia’s president Sharif Sheik Ahmed said in a press statement on Saturday following growing rift with state house speaker.

The president blamed the parliament for dragging to approve the newly appointed Prime Minister Mohamed Abdulahi Mohamed (Farmajo). He also accused the committee of the parliament of creating unpleasant atmosphere.

“It is wiser for the MPs to keep the written charter of the country and my government is determined to push the new prime minister ahead.” The president said.

The uncertainty came when President Ahmed unexpectedly named a new prime minister without any consultation with the parliament speaker Sharif Hassan Sheik Aden.

With the existence of that discrepancy plus with the recent revealed Thesis book written by pending prime minister drew wider in and outside criticism and instigated upheaval within the parliament.

In his book (U.S. STRATEGIC INTEREST IN SOMALIA, From Cold War Era to War on Terror) published June 2009, the new prime minister defamed some of the Somali clans in central and southern Somalia.

Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, the president of the transitional government of Somalia has Saturday said they were committed to implement the Sharia law, just as he talked to more people after Friday prayer at Villa Somalia, the presidential palace of the government in Mogadishu.
