Somalilandsun:The chairman of opposition National Party (Wadani) Mr.Abdirahman Mohammed
Abdillahi (Irro) has called for the senate chairman Hon. Suleiman Mohamud
Adam to retire. He then recommended Mullah Sheikh Adam Mohamud Hirey (Adam
Siiro) to be chosen to become the new Upper House Parliament speaker so
that transparency and accountability can thrive again.
Hon. Irro was speaking to the press in Burao town where he had gone
yesterday evening. The opposition chief also talked about the imprisonment
of traditional chieftain King Osman Aw Mohamud Burmadow revealing that his
incarceration is politically motivated.
Here are his words “Hon.Suleiman, the Guurti speaker, has worked for this
nation for a while and now time has come for him to retire and hand the
mantle of the Upper House of Representative to another person who shall
take from where he left. It‘s my opinion and suggestion that the fire brand
mullah cum politician Sheikh Adam Mohamud Hirey (Adam Siiro) should be
elected to become the next Guurti chairman so that transparency and
accountability could become the norm again.
Pertaining the jailing of traditional elder King Osman Aw Mohamud Burmadow
Hon.Irro said “I don’t agree with the hasty imprisonment of a traditional
leader of King Osman caliber to be treated the way he was treated. He
wasn’t given time to defend himself furthermore his incarceration is
politically motivated. The King was not jailed because he attended a
traditional coronation ceremony in Puntland. The powers that be locked him
because of his outspokenness concerning the chairmanship of the ruling
party Kulmiye. King Osman wanted President Musa Bihi to handover the party
baton of leadership to his clan.”
