| [The Nation (Nairobi)] Following an extraordinary meeting held in Mogadishu on Sunday afternoon, the cabinet of the transitional federal government of Somalia resolved an extension of one year for all the Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs). According to the government front man, Mr Abdi Haji Gobdon, the ministers considered the current situation in Somalia and decided to propose an extension for a period of one year for the parliament, cabinet, presidency and the judiciary, effective 21st of August this year. The extension will last till August 2012 to give the hapless Somali government an opportunity to deliver on promises made to secure a number of pending tasks. Mr Mohamed Mohamud Bono, the Minister for Constitutional and Federal Affairs, told The Nation that the one-year extension for the TFIs will allow the hapless Somali government to build on recent gains. Mr Bono stated that the government will further improve in the defense staffs in terms of number, gear and quality. |
