GAROWE, Somalia, June 3, 2015(Garowe Online)-The President of Somalia’s Puntland Government Abdiweli Mohamed Ali has sacked administration director of presidency and the mayor of the state capital by decree as part of anticipated shakeup on Wednesday, Garowe Online reports.
In the presidential decree, Ali replaced Abdi Mahdi Abshir whose firing went viral in advance with Abdinasir Mohamud Gurey.
Moreover, Puntland President dissolved Garowe Municipal Council, in turn assigning Ahmed Saed Gelle to the mayoral post and firing incumbent Abdinur Elmi Kor.
Meanwhile, the reshuffle affected Directors-General at Interior, Justice and women development ministries.
The sackings and appointments come less than a week after Ali disbanded Bossaso Municipal Council in similar move in which Bari Governor Abdisamad Mohamed Galan and Bossaso mayor Hassan Abdalle Hassan were replaced.
In an interview with VOA Somali Service earlier on May 26, Puntland President unveiled that administrative shakeup looms over what he described ‘incompetence'.
