President Osman privately nicknamed Hussen the cleanser

Evidence

Although the decree marked a sharp turn away from the old ways of conducting public business, its wording was considered far-reaching as it could be interpreted that cabinet members could not even own things like private cars. The wording was later adjusted to conform to the intent of the decree, and the president was delighted with this new departure. It was as a result of this and similar other acts that Osman privately coined a nickname for the prime minister, “dahirie” (cleanser). — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 774
