President Bihi of the Republic of Somaliland, today, sacked the former Vice-Minister of Transportation, appointed another in his place, and reshuffled positions for four Director-Generals.
In the same move, the President nabbed a former Secretary of a key position, Mohamed Hassan Dirir, from the Waddani opposition party to put him at Water Development as Director-General.
Ex-Vice-Minister Sahal Mohamed Jama loses position to Mohamed Abdi Mohamoud.
The President decreed:
DIRECTOR-GENERAL | MOVES TO |
Ahmed Abdi Jama | Ministry of Planning |
Mubarak Abdullahio Ibrahim | Ministry of Defense |
Mohamed Geeddi Aynanshe | Civil Service Commission |
Hamze Sultan Adan | Quality Control |
What made the President make changes to a fraction of the existing government set-up at this particular juncture of time is not clear.
Neither do the changes to the Director-general positions make sense as four out of five are not new.
