Evidence

In parliament a number of younger and more educated MPs led by the lawyer Ismail Jimale opposed the proposition. Despite having much respect for Haji Musa, they felt that others were more qualified than he. Egal and Yassin insisted on the candidate, and realizing they did not have the votes needed to win, they went back to their standard campaign tool kit of buying votes. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 1041
