Sources close to the state house in Baidoa city say that the prime minister is due to announce his expected cabinet on 1st December. Unconfirmed reports also say the premier has already selected his cabinet in the parliament despite he was appointed from the outside. It will be the fifth cabinet for the transitional federal government since it was formed in Kenya 2004.
