PUNTLAND President Said Abdullahi Deni wants all upstream contracts and negotiations concerning the Somali autonomous territory to be conducted within his own Ministry of Water & Energy and has begun staffing up in the capital Garowe to achieve this goal.
Having won a landslide victory in January against Asad Osman Abdullahi, Deni has now appointed lawyer Ahmed ‘Taran’ Mohamed Yusuf to the portfolio and to assign consultants.
