The President alone could confirm dismissals, which were then still contestable

Evidence

For all the foregoing reasons and whilst we call the attention of the Honourable Members of the National Assembly to the fact that the dismissals referred to in the present petition have not yet been confirmed by His Excellency the President of the Republic (with whom the final decision rests) and are therefore not to be considered valid as far as the suspension of our salaries is concerned, we beg the Honourable Members of the National Assembly to discuss and deal with the problem, as a matter of urgency, and possibly as soon as the National Assembly begins its works in the forthcoming Session starting on April 28, 1965. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 811
