MOGADISHU (SONNA) — Somalia’s Prime Minister, H. E. Hamza Abdi Barre, has initiated a cabinet reshuffle by dismissing two state ministers, Ismail Shire Jama of the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, and Asad Abdirizak Mohamed of the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation. The dismissals are part of a strategic reorganization aimed at enhancing the operational efficiency of these key government sectors.
The Prime Minister has invoked Articles 120 and 117 of the Provisional Constitution to legally underpin the leadership changes. This move is intended to streamline governance and eliminate bureaucratic inefficiencies, ensuring that the ministries can execute their national mandates more effectively.
In a formal communication, Prime Minister Barre expressed gratitude to the departing officials for their service, while also wishing them success in their future endeavors. The reforms reflect the Federal Government’s dedication to a responsive and high-performing cabinet capable of tackling complex domestic and economic issues.
Further details about the reasons for the dismissals and the future direction of the affected ministries are anticipated in the near future.
