Information/Report…
In a controversial voting session, the House of Representatives approved the amendment to the general amnesty law at record speed, amidst a tense atmosphere. The way in which the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani, managed the session sparked widespread controversy, with some describing it as a “paid deal” aimed at passing the amendments in favor of those accused of terrorist crimes, bypassing legal controls and criminal justice.
Sneak Vote and Fraud Accusations
The session witnessed a quick vote that lasted only five seconds, which angered a large number of MPs and politicians. The famous “Jacog Al-Mashhadani strike” became a symbol of this suspicious passage, amid calls to re-vote on the law due to the legal violations that accompanied the session.
Accusations of corruption and legal violations
According to political and media sources, information has been circulated that Al-Mashhadani received promises and financial support to pass the law, raising questions about the integrity of the legislative process. It has also been alleged that his nomination for the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives was conditional on the passage of this law, reinforcing the hypothesis of a “pre-planned political mission.”
Parliamentary consensus on re-voting
MP Ibtisam Al Hilali confirmed that there is a parliamentary consensus to re-vote on the law, noting that it was passed in a manner that violated the internal regulations of the House of Representatives. She explained that a number of MPs filed a complaint with the Federal Court demanding the cancellation of the session, which prompted the court to issue a decision to suspend the implementation of the law until the complaint submitted is considered.
Moves to dismiss Al-Mashhadani
For his part, MP Mohammed Rasool Al-Rumaithi, from the State of Law bloc, said that Al-Mashhadani committed a legal violation by breaching the internal regulations and passing laws without a quorum. He added that there are serious moves to dismiss him, stressing that “the blood of the martyrs and the wounded is a trust around our necks, and we will not allow terrorists to leave under the cover of the general amnesty law.”
Political crisis looms
With political and legal pressures mounting, Al-Mashhadani faces the possibility of being dismissed from his position, amid widespread disapproval of his handling of the voting session on the three laws, including the most controversial general amnesty in recent times.
While all eyes are on the Federal Court to resolve the controversy, the repercussions of this crisis remain dependent on future political developments within the halls of Parliament.
