Storyline:National News

The president of the regional state of Galmudug Abdikarim Hussein Guleed on Sunday sacked his deputy minister for transport, Abdisamed yussuf Elmi, accusing him of low performance.

In a letter seen by Goobjoog News, the presidency noted Elmi  had on several occasions failed to turn up to work and does not attend cabinet meetings.

“The terminations of his services come into effect when the president signs the letter,” the letter reads in part.

This comes less than a month after Galmudug State planning and international cooperation minister Mohamed Elmi Afrah relieved of his duties by the state president following what he termed as gross neglect of duty and insubordination.

Afrah is also accused of acts of insubordination and failure to attend to his duties.

Afrah was the first planning minister following the formation of Galmudug state in 2014.
