Hussen stayed in his modest MP house throughout his premiership
Evidence
Hussen did not own a private house that he could move to once he left the prime minister’s office. In fact, he lived in the same modest government house that he had since he first became an MP, before the country became independent. In those days senior public employees lived in government houses whose rents were subsidized. MPs and ministers had the same privileges, and Hussen was one of them. What set Hussen apart from others was that he did not move to a more commodious abode during his premiership. Before his tenure as prime minister expired, Hussen wrote the responsible authorities that he intended to stay in the same house and would be paying the required rent. Egal found out about this and insisted that he should not be asked to pay rent and that his driver must stay with him to drive his private car. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 992
