Attorney General Clarifies Limits of Transitional Powers Amid Ongoing Activities

Attorney General Ibrahim Riffath told parliament that an incoming president has no authority to order the outgoing administration to halt developmental projects or services, citing the Presidential Transition Act and Article 107(a) of the constitution. He said transitional committees may not stop tenders or projects, while President-elect Mohamed Muizzu's requests to avoid certain activities during the transition are merely morally binding on the outgoing government.
