Post-Arta practice in cabinet formation: Between 2000&2021, Somalia’s prime ministers created between ten and forty-two ministries – some with more than ninety ministers, state ministers and vice ministers.THREAD👇 English: bit.ly/3GQKCju Somali: bit.ly/3MkFtkP

It is shameful that 50% of the society is excluded. Out of 26 FGS ministries, there are no director general or permanent secretary females. We urge you Hassan Sheikh Mohamud & @HamzaABare 2 change this. Lack of inclusivity, injustice & unfairness is disservice to the Somali public.

Majority of the new cabinet is selected from the parliament: 16/27 ministers or 59% (PM & DPM included); 13/24 state-ministers or 54%; 14/25 deputy ministers or 56%. Total is 76 & 43 or 56% are from the parliament. Interesting. Can parliament perform its oversight role?
