President Said Abdullahi Aw Mohamed is about to name his cabinet.
There are many rumours which I am not going to indulge myself into.
What we know is that Ministers and cabinet will be lean in scope around 16-18 and same numbers on Deputy Ministers and fewer State Minister (Minister of State).
This has profound effects on the ground as many clans will found themselves out of Ministerial position and lose some standing which might fuel resentment.
Truth of the matter is that Puntland cannot afford does not need 60 Ministers.
