They keep talking about seats in the Upper house but than what about the lower house? Isn’t that suppose to be the people’s house? All this will not matter once people can Vote for their representatives and if I had to place my bet, Benadir will lead the way and conduct the first elected representatives in Somalia.
The 13 seats are the Elders seats kinda like House of Lords, Senators or Majlasu Sheiyuukh, its an VIP Club where only they accept new members into that Majlas.
Now the step for one to gain an Seat with the Senators, is that one must go through the Peoples house i.e the Parliamentarian house where they will send an Codsi from the Will of the People to the Senate house, and since that Codsi carries the weight of the Peoples voice the Senators will without any hesitant accept that codsi of a new members State Senators.
