According to the Presidential Spokesman Hussein Aden Egeh who told the media of the meeting, it was expected that they were to uphold equality in all matters of development and justice nationally.

3. Supply personal CVs as per constitution.
4. To hold consecutive cabinet meeting in line with working procedures
