"The new ministers will be named officially tomorrow and there has been no disagreement over the matter” said one official of the struggling TFG

But reliable sources told Hiiraan Online (HOL) that the delay was as a result of a headed internal bickering within sections of ruling class who are yet to agree on the proposed cabinet portfolios and their heirs.

Our source indicated that the three top most executives of the government are dillydallying over the names of the new ministers,  each struggling to get his political acquaintances appointed to key positions within the government.

To our understanding the three top officials are the president, the speaker and the prime minister. Political analysts say the naming of the cabinet may yet be delayed beyond Tuesday casting doubt on the efficiency of the new Prime Minister Dr. Abdiweli Mohamed Ali.

The controversial ministerial allocations is likely to reignite a new level of political uncertainty as the one year Kampala-proposed period is approaching each passing day.

Parliamentary speaker Sharif Hassan is reportedly fronting for Burci Mohamed Hamza, Fowziya Mohamed Sheikh and Mustaf Sheikh Ali to be part of the new cabinet set to be announced.

President Sharif is fighting for the inclusion of Abdikarin Hassan Jaama who is the incumbent minister of information, and two other members from within the presidential political circle.

The presidential appointee, Abdiweli was overwhelmingly ratified by the bloated Somali parliament and is expected to name a new cabinet within a period of 30 days.

Prime minister Dr. Ali has to beat the deadline that is approaching but this depends on the balancing tactics within the ministerial portfolios.

Earlier this month, the premier proposed to right size and names an efficient cabinet that is expected to spearhead the smooth running of the transitional institutions ahead of the 2012 deadline.
