Somali president says justice will be bring back

Somalia’s newly elected president Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo has talked about a range of issues including his government’s plan for the first 100 days, bringing back justice and reaching out to the drought-affected people.

Speaking to VOA Somali Service, Farmajo sent his condolences to the family and friends of Puntland’s former president Adde Muse Hirsi who died in the United Arab Emirate the same day Farmajo was elected as president of Somalia.

He expressed his happiness over the conclusion of the electoral process saying that he is pleased with the smooth transfer of power.

He called on the people to stop the demonstrations in support of his election noting that campaigning time has ended and it was time for action.

Commenting on what his plan for the first 100 days of his government will be, he said that his first assignment will be to name a prime minister who will design the plans for the government.

But he said that some of the core values of his government will include the protection of public trust, bringing back justice to the country and reaching out to the drought-affected people.

He further said that he will do his best to avoid political wrangles between him and his incoming Prime Minister , a tendency that was popular in previous governments.

He thanked the armed forces for their role in keeping the security during the electoral process.
