money Posted August 27, 2012 There are 35 women MPs (out of 275) in the new Somali Parliament which makes women representation a disappointing 13% ... not even half of the 30% quota women were supposed to get. Here's a breakdown chart along clan lines. This chart is based on the latest released list of the MPs (255) and can change within coming days. 5th Amalgamation: women MPs = 5 --- 16% (rounded) - not bad Biibi Khaliif Maxamed Fahmo Axmed Nuur Khadiija Maxamed Diiriye Maryan Aweys Jama Saaqa Aden Mohamed D&M women MPs = 6 ---- 10% (rounded) - they could've done better than this Dr. Muumino Sh. Cumar Fadumo Nuur Maxamed Fowziya Maxamed Sheekh Luul Cabdi Aadan Maryan Macalin ***** Xabiibo Maxamed Kheyr D&M have 4 remaining seats to fill and none is expected to be for women DD Block Women MPs = 3 --- 5% (rounded) very disappointing - there are 2 remaining seats for the clan - and it is unlikely these seats would be given to women Saado Cali Warsame ( legendary and sometimes controversial singer) Sacdiya Careys Ciise ( daughter of the great Saar poet/meastro Careys Ciise Kaarshe (AUN) Sahra Jama Ali DR-Block Women MPs = 10 --- 16% (rounded) - a good start Aamino Cumar Jaamac Busharo Cabdi Diriye Caashakoos Maxamuud Cumar Cadar Abdi warsame ***** Duniya Maxamed Cali Faaduma Xasan Cali Faduma Odowa Rageh Khadra Ahmed Ibrahim Sahro C/qadir C/raxman Saynab Maxamed Caamir The clan has 4 seats to fill and it's unlikely that for women to get any. H block Women Mps = 11 --- 18% - a good start Amina Mohamed Abdi Caasha Xaaji Cilmi Jawahir Axmed Cilmi Maryan Cariif Qaasim Naciimo Maxamed Gacal Nadifo Maxamed Osman Qaali Axmed Diiriye Sacdiyo Cumar Sheegow Samira Xasan Cabdulle Ubax Tahliil Warsame Xalimo Xasan Cumar H-Block have 8 remaining seats to fill. It is expected at least 1 seat would be a women which could increase the quota within the block to 20% but would not have any significant changes on the overall women representation in the parliament.
