A statement from the president of Somalia’s semi-autonomous region of Puntland Abdirahman Mohamed Faroole said a group of MPs is attempting to bring a motion against Somalia Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon, a move ti renew political infighting which the former governments in Somalia were notorious for, RBC Radio reports.

“Puntland Government warns strongly against the renewal of political infighting amongst the Federal Institutions of Somalia, as a group of MPs is attempting to bring a motion against Somali Prime Minister H.E. Abdi Farah Shirdon after only seven months in public office.” the statement dated on 12th May, 2013 said.

“This attempt wastes time, resources, and the joint efforts Somali stakeholders and international partners invested in bringing forth the new Federal Institutions of Somalia.” the statement added.

The president of Puntland also in his statement urged the Federal Institutions of Somalia to focus on primary national tasks, such as managing the monetary crisis in the country, resolving the issue of tampering with the Provisional Federal Constitution, working diligently to strengthen law and order in war-affected areas, and supporting for the formation of the remaining Federated States.

The statement came days after local clans protested against the nomination of the new chiefs of the police and the national security agency. Members of the federal parliament hailing from Digil and Mirifle clans have described the nomination as unbalanced power sharing between the clans.
