Somalia: Puntland Urges Independence and Neutrality of Technical
Selection Committee
PRESS RELEASE
18 August 2012
Puntland Government is proud to have played an active role in the Roadmap for
End of Transition process in Somalia and welcomes the progress achieved by
the Technical Selection Committee (TSC).
However, Puntland is concerned about the reported interference, intimidation and
manipulation aiming to undermine the TSC discretion of applying the selection
criteria for Members of Parliament, as per the agreements of Garowe Principles
and Nairobi (4-6 August 2012).
We call upon all concerned parties to respect the neutrality, independence and
discretion of the TSC.
Additionally, Puntland Government warns strongly against anti-federalism
elements seeking key positions of power in Somalia, such as Speaker of
Parliament and President, which could lead the country towards the risk of further
national fragmentation.
Puntland Government has invested time, efforts and resources to ensure
completion of benchmarks of the End of Transition process, leading to the
adoption of the Provisional Federal Constitution of Somalia on 1st August 2012
and we welcome the initial list of 202 MPs announced by the TSC.
