KISMAYO (HORN OBSERVER) - The president of Jubbaland state in southern Somalia, Ahmed Mohamed Madobe has finally announced his cabinet after months of disputes with local politicians and clans in the state.
Madobe, who has been at loggerheads with the federal government over his legitimacy since 2019, formed a new council of ministers with the list showing only one full minister for women in the state, a move condemned by the advocate groups who fight for a significant piece of the pie for women.
According to the list, the leader chose his 50 cabinet members from both opposition and allies.
Among the list is Abdikadir Seerar, once Madobe's opponent and rival candidate in the last elections. Seerar was put in charge of the Ministry of Education.
The list also shows some people who have kept their posts. Mohamed Warsame Darwish, who was previously served interior ministry, will head the same portfolio.
The announcement comes as the two-year interim rule for Madobe proposed by the federal government.
Last June Villa Somalia which dismissed the election of Madobe announced to recognise the leader for only two year in which is required to hold elections.It is not yet clear whether Modobe who is critic to the current federal administration will heed the directive.
