BAIDOA, (insidesomalia.org)-Somali lawmakers in the country's southwestern town of Baidoa, where the parliament sits, have called on Prime Minister Nur "Adde" Hassan Hussein to resign during a meeting on Thursday.

A document, signed by 32 Members of Parliament, was handed over to parliament leaders today.

MP Nasro Abdisalam, who read the document to journalists in Baidoa, accused Prime Minister Nur Adde's government of "constitutional violations," "misuse of government funds" and "interfering with the Central Bank's affairs."

The 32 MPs reached the decision after reading a memo from the Somali parliament' s finance subcommittee, which detailed government revenue and expenditure since the Prime Minister's appointment in November.

The lawmakers' document called on interim President Abdullahi Yusuf to accept the Prime Minister's resignation, should Nur Adde decide to resign.

Government sources in Baidoa tell Garowe Online that "many" of the MPs calling for Prime Minister Nur Adde's resignation are seen as allies of President Yusuf.
