HARGEISA — President Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo has signed a new decree on the appointment of five Director-Generals for five key government agencies to help him manage his government.

According to the Presidential spokesman Abdullahi Mohamed Dahir the president has filled empty posts on Monday appointing Faisal Ali Sheikh as the Director-General of Ministry for Foreign Affairs. Ahmed Omar Fahiye became the first Director-General of Ministry of Interior while Abdulrashid Abdullahi Mohamed became first for Department of Religious Affairs.

Saleban Jama Diriye and Abdulrashid Jibril Yonis were announced as the Director-General of Ministry of Finance and Director-General of Ministry of Information respectively.

On the same decree the president entrusted Mohamed Dahir Ahmed as the new Food Security Co-ordinator to the World Food Programme (WFP) and is to replace Ahmed Hassan Nur.

The appointments have prompted mixed responses centering on the suggestion that administrative laws should be established before such nominations. They stressed that there was no clear define between government departments and agencies. Others insisted such positions would only increase the burden on the state budget. While some welcomed the news.

In a separate press release the president also named Abdi Hassan Mohamed as the new deputy governor of Sanaag region.

  Does it matter what and how the Govt of President Silaanyo is executed for as long as you
  are totally opposed to any and every thing good or bad. am ready to give you certain ratio of certain things but unfortunately you suck everything in some dirty basket. In the past you were something now
  as cimraan concludes you are nothing but a sick baboon.
  Cheers.

I'm under the impression that having the degree of agencies is to incorporate independent bodies in the government system of which are intended to have an oversight on the how the certain ministerial administration should be functioning in terms of accountability and transparency.

Granted, these agencies would definitely have a overhead burden on Somaliland's budget but if their benefits outweigh their liabilities (trial and error basis), it'd be worthy to give them a chance and see should they bring a needed factor to the scene, if not, the president must have an executive authority of eliminating them in timely fashion.

mohamed cheers,
I was commenting based on the subject matter. I did not have any prior knowledge of the circumstance, perhaps should elaborate on it should you know inside info. that I'm not aware of.
By the way, my surname spells out 'Qaal" with the letter " Q' not with the 'G", unless you've purposely done it..

The new era of reporting in Somalia " Madaxweynaha oo ka dhawaajiyay " also choose from a drop down list" yeeriyay, ciyay, ku qofacay, afuufay, list goes on,
" – xil ka qaadis uu ku sameeyay, " also from a list" shaqo ka badalis uu ku sameeyay, xil katuuris uu ku samaayay, tukhaatukhin uu ku sameeyay, ka hor joogsi uu ku sameeyay, xilka baacsasho uu ku sameeyay,
Kuwa kalena “xil u dhiibis ku sameeyay” " from a drop down list" shaqo abuuris ku sameeyay, naaxnaaxin ku sameeyay, kor u qaadis ku sameeya, gacmihiisa ku sameeyay,
Madax weynha wuxuu ku dooday kaligii oon cidi la fadhiyin daayeedada ku geeriyooday xeryaha qaramada madoobe ee Congo oon waxba loo qaban. Laba qofood ayaa arinkaa ka soo jawaabay.
