New Somali PM gets overwhelming parliament approval
MOGADISHU (HORN OBSERVER) Mohamed Hussein Roble, who was last week appointed as the new premier of Somalia, has been overwhelmingly approved by the Parliament on Wednesday.
Roble has been endorsed by 215 lawmakers who were present in the House in a show of confidence by the lawmakers following his appointment last week by President Mohamed Farmaajo.
Prior to the vote which concluded shortly, President Farmaajo appealed to the MPs to give Roble the job in what now ends about two months with no substantive government.
Former deputy prime minister Mahdi Guleid has been on acting capacity as prime minister since his boss Hassan Khaire was removed in a no-confidence motion in late July.
The new Prime Minister will now go ahead to appoint a council of ministers which will also require parliamentary approval.
