Legislators also accused Gedi of violating theconstitution by failing to seek a vote of confidence within30 days after he was appointed to his post by thepresident, Omar said in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, wherethe Somali parliament is based because the Somali capitalis considered too dangerous. "But it is more than 40 days now and he has not sought avote of confidence in the government," Omar told TheAssociated Press. "The parliament has asked the presidentto nominate a new prime minister, who will appoint a newgovernment." Somalia's president swore in Gedi's Cabinet on Dec. 1. Thenew government included warlords, clan leaders andtechnocrats and was expected to establish the firsteffective central government since 1991.
