[Update] Dire Dawa Council, Cabinet appointments

 

It is to be recalled that the Council elected new Speakers, Mayor and Dep. Mayor on Oct. 15/2010. As explained previously, the mid-term change of the two top executive posts is a result of the power sharing arrangement between EPRDF & SPDP.

The Council had also appointed new Heads for two Bureaus. The Council appointed Hassen Tahir as Head of Capacity Building Bureau, previously held by the new Dep. Mayor Harbi Bouh, and Ibrahim Usman as Head of Rural and Agriculture Development Bureau, which has been vacant since the appointment of its former head Abduselam Mohammed as Mayor of Jigjiga, Somali State, several months time. However, no appointment was made for the Finance and Economic Development Bureau, which is vacated by the the new Dep. Speaker Asrat Chala.

Two weeks later, the Council made appointments for two executive offices and standing committees of the Council. Abdela Mume, who has been head of Youth Affairs Bureau, is appointed to head the Finance and Economic Development Bureau. Abduselam Mohammed, who has been Mayor of Jigjiga, is appointed as City Manager.
