All Somali cabinet members unanimously agreed to declare assets to prove disinterest

Evidence

All ministers and Undersecretaries of the newly formed Somali Government have unanimously agreed to submit by next week a declaration stating that they do not own movable properties, buildings or land estates, or bond and shares. The declaration, to include a list of all properties which belonged to cabinet members before the date of their oath of allegiance, is intended to prove to the Somali people that government leaders do not pursue their private interests while at the helm of the country’s affairs. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 773
