SOMALILAND PARLIAMENT – Standing Rules of the Two Houses

 Both Houses of Parliament (the House of Representatives and the House of Elders) have their own Rules of Procedure and a set of Rules which govern joint sittings, which are permitted under Article 38 of the Constitution.

The Rules in Somali are set out below: 

1.  THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:

The new (and somewhat controversial in the beginning in 2014) House of Representatives Rules of Procedure are now  available  at the Somaliland House of Representatives website and are available here as a pdf file in Somali (Somaliland DRAFT  HoR Standing Rules (Xeerhoosadka Golaha Wakiilada  Lr 12/2014) BUT as we have now confirmed these are NOT YET IN FORCE. We apologise for any confusion this might have caused and are keeping this copy for information.   AND ARE NOW THE CURRENT RULES OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES replacing the 2006 Rules: Copy in Somali only available here: Xeerhoosaadka Golaha Wakiilada (HoR Rules 2014)

The House Rules  remain  still the 2006 Rules which are the Revised House of Representatives Standing Rules (adopted on 2 January 2006)- [pdf copy of the Rules ] - all in Somali - no English langauage translation is available. REPEALED see above - Copy still available here for reference.

 [In 2006, Somalilandlaw.com drafted  new suggested Rules of the House which incorporated  all the 2006 HoR Rules. The draft  Rules were based on those of Houses of Representatives in presidential systems of government, and in particular, those of the Philippines, the US and some South American countries, but were  also very much grounded on the Somaliland Constitution and customs].
