The Council of Ministers of the Federal Republic of Somalia held a meeting today to discuss the Implementation Plan of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Somalia, which is of great importance to government institutions, the country's politics, and the unity of the Somali Nation.

The Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs of the Federal Republic of Somalia presented before the council the plan for the implementation of the constitution, its timeline, and methodology, and highlighted the key objectives of implementing the country's constitution, which specifies ensuring that all constitutional provisions are implemented within the constitutional timeframe set between the years (2026-2029).

Prime Minister Hamza, who chaired the meeting, stated that from the day the President signed and the day it was officially published, the constitution is in effect, but its technical implementation is clearly outlined in the Constitution itself, which will take time, especially regarding administrative matters.

The report from the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs indicated that the council will be presented with a resolution defining the priority tasks of the Constitution to be carried out in the next 12 months, considering the circumstances the country is in and the needs required, including committees and institutions that are crucial for the progress of national work, such as the Judicial Service Council and the National Revenue Agency.

The council also listened to reports on the One Person, One Vote elections that took place in the districts of South West and the role of the National Media, as well as a report related to the discussions held regarding electoral matters led by the President of the Republic.

The Council of Ministers approved by majority vote Mr. Mohamed Rabii Yusuf to be promoted to the rank of Ambassador Deputy of the Somalia Mission to the United Nations, making him the second ambassador of Somalia stationed there.

Finally, the council approved policies, agreements, and regulations essential for the development of the Somali Nation, which include
