His statements came after a third session of the country’s parliament ended in chaos following a division between the members on the top leaders friction.
‘’The MPs have, persistently, called on the President and the sponsors of the motion to consider the public’s interest and refrain from activities that may lead to disunity and political instability in our country. The calls of the parliamentarians and similar requests from the public and other stakeholders have been disregarded,’’ he added.
The dispute between the President and Prime Minister remains unresolved and the international community has expressed concern over the political turmoil.
However, the Prime Minister, further accused President Hassan Sheikh of going against a solution to the current crisis, rather preferring to ‘’create obstacles against the 2016 vision’’.
