Ex- Somaliland Minister is planting his farm

[Deeq A.]

Former Commerce and Investment minister under president Silanyo’s administration, Hon. Omar Shuaib has become preoccupied with the growing of his commercial fruit and vegetable farming which locates in the outskirts of the port city of Berbera. The former minister who was excluded from council of ministers after his party won the presidential polls said that he is encouraging local farming production. Mr. Shuaib told Horn Cable TV that he planted onions, tomatoes and the papaya.  Most of former cabinet ministers are idle after the incumbent president has excluded from the council of ministers. Most of them have gone abroad while the rest waste their time in tea shops and have Khat sessions. The ex-minister said that the only obstacle that he faces is that he lacks agriculture knowledge. He urged the government to improve the knowledge of farming community in Somaliland.
