Somalia govt rescinds decision to disband Chamber of Commerce
Mohamed Hussein Roble poses for a photo after Somali lawmakers approved his appointment as the country's new prime minister in a landslide vote, in Mogadishu, on September 23, 2020.
PM Roble pledged to let officials continue working as long as the issues identified, including a possible Al-Shabaab infiltration, are addressed.
A report by Mogadishu-based Hiraal Institute claimed Al-Shabaab was profiting from illegal taxation of business organisations.
Somalia’s main organisation for investors and traders this week got a reprieve after the government rescinded its decision to disband it over complaints from traders.
Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble instead pledged to let officials continue working as long as the issues identified, including a possible Al-Shabaab infiltration, are addressed.
