Osman disapproved of Abdirashid’s expansion of ministries and cabinet appointments
Evidence
The president recorded his misgivings about the new cabinet in his diary: “Abdirashid [Sharmarkee] let me swallow bitter pills with the increase of the ministries and with the inclu- sion in the government of certain individuals … while he left out valid deputies. I do not know for fear of what. I am sorry this thing is not a credit for him and it is disappointing.” — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 1364
