Hussen launched an anticorruption and work-discipline drive at Public Works
Evidence
Another area that required immediate attention was the misuse of the ministry’s resources, such as cement, which were routinely sold by some employees, particularly by those who kept government stores. Moreover, staff arrived and left their workstations as they pleased. In consultation with his senior staff, Hussen demanded that people ar- rive and stay at their stations for the full duration of the workday. Not surpris- ingly, once the new work ethic was strictly enforced, many of the employees saw the new minister as a monster bent on giving them an unnecessarily hard time. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 716
