PM designate pledges an inclusive and responsive government in first address

Newly appointed Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khayre has pledged to form a government that is responsive and meets the expectations of Somalis.

In his first address following President Mohamed Farmaajo’s announcement Thursday morning of the PM designate appointment, Khayre said he will work towards delivering the needs and aspirations of the people.

“I will form an inclusive government which meets the expectations and aspirations of Somalis. I will also consult widely with Parliament and the President,” said Khayre.

The PM designate thanked the president for the appointment and pledged to do his best in the new assignment.

President Farmaajo will now proceed to seek Parliament’s approval before Khayre settles to form a cabinet.
