Up for the Third Reading is the Data Protection Bill which seeks to entrench the protection of personal data by law and enable citizens to oblige the government to make public certain information through the office of the Data Protection Commissioner.
The 54 member chamber will also debate the Immigration Bill which will be going through the Second Reading. Also up for Second Reading is the Somali Fisheries Development and Management Bill.
The issue is likely to carry broader political weight as Somalia navigates federal power-sharing, regional competition and the search for stronger public institutions.
