Brigadier General Bashir Mohamed Jama “Bashir Goobe”, the new state minister in the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, has said the allegations made against Somali Prime Minister Mohamed Huseein Roble by the Somali Navy Commander were “shocking”.

Speaking to local media, Bashir Goobe said it was unethical for an army officer to criticize national leaders in the media.

He said the land was not military ground but a “small” area between the coast and the Turkish embassy.

The Somali Navy Chief Brigadier General Abdihamid Mohamed Dirir has yesterday accused the Somali premier of looting a land belonging to the Somali Navy forces.
