Osman chose Hussen as prime minister because of his integrity

Evidence

It is this record of performance and moral integrity that convinced Osman to think of Hussen as the only cabinet member who had the courage and competency to be prime minister. Several months before the election, as Osman’s frustration grew with Sharmarkee’s inability to challenge corrupt members of his team and deal with sloppy behavior by public servants, he noted in his diary that Hussen was the man who could take on these towering impediments. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 728
