Over 65 Members of Parliament yesterday submitted a motion against the Minister of Interior & Federalism Abdullahi Godax Barre, who in their opinion has breached several articles in the provisional constitution.

The legislators requested from the Speaker of parliament whether parliament can review whether Mr. Barre is suitable enough to continue as Interior Minister after lawmakers accuse him of appointing district and regional administration without the consent of local residents.

On the other hand, many other MPs have pledged their support for Mr. Barre as they believe he needs to be given another chance as he only assumed office a few months ago.

The Minister of Interior & Federalism was recently summoned by parliament to answer several questions regarding the transportation of aid to towns and districts liberated from Al-Shabaab and the appointing of interim regional administrations.
