Somali lawmaker Abdullahi Abib, known for being an outspoken government critic, has lost his parliamentary membership due to his failure to attend sessions, as announced by the Parliament’s Speaker on Saturday.
This decision underscores the importance of attendance and participation in parliamentary duties, and it may have significant implications for political dynamics within the Somali government, particularly regarding dissent and accountability.
The move could spark debates about the balance between enforcing parliamentary rules and ensuring diverse voices are represented in the legislative process.
