Some 49 ministers in the government of Salad Hassan

In a step in which he was obliged to submit to tribal pressures to get posts in the formation of the new ministry, the Somali prime minister Hassan Abshar Fareh appointed some 49 ministers of state for various ministries.

With these appointments, Fareh has expanded to the utmost possible his government.

Although the Somali tribes found in this new formation posts that suit their population and political wishes, observers think that this generosity will bring in several problems to the performance of the provisional government in the future.
