Today, the Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali and all representatives in the House of Federation (HoF). All members of government, everyone who is elected in Addis Ababa is now on borrowed time. Their days are due. They are unconstitutional. There is no sixth year for the HoF, neither is it for any government official either. They are all out of their expired mandate.
As the Constitution specifies quit clearly is this:
Article 54(1): “Members of the House of Peoples’ Representatives shall be elected by the People for a term of five years on the basis of universal suffrage and by direct, free and fair elections held by secret ballot”.
That means everyone in the House of Federation, the Council of Ministers and everyone else only have 5 years. Not a magical 6th Year like the state opened up with today. This not an anomaly or a mistake. What is happening is deliberate action by the public officials or the representatives. So, that they rule without a mandate. No election and no universal suffrage, meaning they haven’t done their constitutional duty and neglected the law.
As stated here:
“Addis Ababa, October 5, 2020 (FBC) – The House of Federation and the House of Peoples have held their 6th year 1st joint opening session” (Fana Broadcasting Company – ‘Houses hold 6th year 1st joint session’ 05.10.2020).
So, today the no-mandated representative was holding a illegal meeting in the House of Federation. They are not voted in for 6 years. These people are no holding office without the will of the public. There has been no proof of their purpose or their seats. These Members of Parliament, these Representatives are illegally holding office.
That is the reality… it is a sad reality. That a supposed reformist and a game changer cannot even hold onto the articles of the constitution. As a Prime Minister and a man who has made himself the Prosperity Party. The man has clearly not a will or a ability to follow the laws himself.
This man can make his enemies into terrorists, make the opposition leaders into political prisoners and use the army to silence protests. Kill activists and take care of the ones who dare to dissent. That is what the state is doing and therefore, not shocking that this leadership wants to rule on a unconstitutional mandate.
The PM and his reign is now showing that the HoF and Prosperity Party isn’t there to make a difference, but only to consolidate power. They are only there to hold a grip on power and misuse it. As they claim others as violators of the same laws.
The HoF said the regional election in Tigray was unconstitutional at one point in September, but they kept the timeline of the Constitution. The TPLF have actually adhered to the constitution. Something, the Federal Government haven’t been able too. That is why the HoF and the government is in a quagmire.
It would have been easy, but then again… these guys doesn’t care. Just like they don’t care to arrest people, use schools as prisons and violate people’s freedoms. This is what they do. They cannot run on legitimacy… they have to be by force. That is why the government are targeting its dissidents and opposition. Taking them away and letting them rot in prison. This is what the Prosperity Party stands for and who PM Abiy is. The actions speaks louder than words.
Now, they are running a government on a illegal Sixth Year. Starting new sessions… and misusing power. They got no mandate for it and its unjustified. Its an illegal operation. National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) needs to call a federal election as soon as possible. Since, this is already too late.
However, I don’t think they care, but only blames opposition for being in the wrong. That is what they does and seems to thrive in it. Peace.
