Out of total of 82 mps in the upper house of elders only 7 original members are surviving to day , 75 are deceased , meaning 90% of the house of Gurti is unconstitutional and illegal and yet they make our laws and extend terms for the parliament and presidents and kill legislation determinant to their interest.
These 82 members served a single purpose and that was to be used by every ruling party since Cigaal days , the Gurti has always sided with the ruling strong man like Cigaal , and Riyaale , and parties like Kulmiye . Biixi is no different he will use the Gurti for what Cigaal, Riyaale and Siilaanyo used them for , to serve their particular need for all types of extensions and interference and sabotaging the opposition,
So this is how its always done :
1- The so called NEC states that the time is short to hold election , or there is no funds for the elections. Of course NEC is mostly handpicked by the ruling party and serve the ruling party always.
2- The Gurti now steps in , and extends the time for both the parliament and the local city/region councils. In turn the parliament retruns the favor by extending the term of the Gurti.
3- Once the above actors do their roles , then they extend the time for the presidency and do their real function which is to derail SL democracy and eventually destroy it.
