Hargeisa- This morning three senior members of the Somaliland government of President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamud "Siilaanyo" were dismissed from their posts and subsequently arrested for the alleged miss-appropriation of food aid intended for some of the poorest citizens in the country.
The three officials are;
The Governor of Marodi Jeh region Ahmed Omar Haji Abdillahi "Hamarji"
The Director-General of the Ministry of Resettlement & Rehabilitation Ahmed Elmi Barre
and a senior adviser to the Somaliland Vice-President.
After being dismissed from their respective posts by a decree from the President, the three former officials were arrested and taken into custody.
This scandal is the latest one to engulf the administration of President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamud "Siilaanyo" which took office in 2010 pledging to fight corruption and miss-management. There are currently under way several investigations by the Auditor General into various government departments, including the ministry of Foreign Affairs, after accusations of corruption and miss-management were made by the former Director-General, Mohamud Rage Ibrahim, prior to his resignation from his post.
