Somalia: MPs to depate no confidence vote on Lower House speaker.

It will be tomorrow, sources said Sunday. Credible sources told radio Kulmiye in Mogadishu that Members of the Somali Lawmakers are in the process of debating a motion of no confidence on the speaker of the Lower house on Monday.

The MPs accused the Lower house Speaker Mohamed Osman alias Jawari of lapses such as corruption and failure to promote the country’s draft constitution.

Mr. Jawari denied those accusations.

The debate over the fate of Jawari appears to have divided MPs along political lines.
