Parliament is considering taking over the responsibility of drafting the legislative bills required to implement the new constitution.

Abdikadir says Parliament was contemplating the move as it bears the consequences if required bills are not passed within the stipulated time.

"However parliament will suffer the consequences if the bills are not enacted in time and that's why we will take over."
