Reports from Garowe say that in the coming hours, Puntland Governor Said Abdullahi Deni is expected to announce the list of candidates for The Upper House of Parliament.
Deni is currently in final talks on announcing Puntland’s senators’ candidates for the Upper House for the next four years.
According to reports, Said Deni held a private meeting with the uneducated speaker Abdirashid Yusuf Jibril from Birmingham, UK and ran off with a lot of debt, which he never paid to the UK Banks, the time that he was living in the United Kingdom, sources told Somali Times.
Members of the Puntland House of Representatives last night to discuss the start of the Puntland Upper House elections, in order to implement the old timetable.
According to Somali Times, some of the current Puntland senators in the Somali Upper House may not be on the list.
The Bari region is also a series of meetings during the sensitive election addressed, especially since the lawmakers of both houses. Puntland is one of the regions that has delayed holding Upper House elections, and there have been growing calls for the elections to begin.
Said Deni is choosing his own people for The Upper House who will vote against President Mohamed Abdulliahi Farmajo.
However, Jubaland and the Southwest became the first administrations to successfully begin selecting new senators, some of whom were elected in Kismayo and Baidoa.
Somalia is not a democratic country and all the senators and MPs choose the clan leaders and clan leaders receive bribes majority to select who they want which is unfair. Somalia needs next elections people can vote who they want to represent.
