Somaliland: Speaker Reshuffles House of Representatives Subcommittees

The Honorable Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yassin Haji Mohamoud Hiir ‘Faratoon’, Wednesday, made a wide reshuffle to the composition of the House subcommittees.

The changes as published on the official website and social media platforms of the HoR cover all the committees leaving very few members to continue roles in their previous committees.

It is mandatory to shift committee memberships once their yearly tenure expires. This time around, the reshuffle comes more than seventeen months overdue due to circumstances mostly beyond the control of the House impacting on the proper dispensation of their responsibilities.

External Affairs subcommittee, especially, will make a positive impact if it, for instance, follows up on and supports the recent Minister of Planning decree relating to the strengthening and uprade of development partners input and their employment practices in country offices.
