Harari state council meeting concluds

Harar, August 24, 2007 (Harar) - The 1st regular conference of the Harari State council concluded on Thursday after approving over 172 million Birr annual recurrent budget, appointing cabinet’s members and endorsing various bills.

The council endorsed bills providing for the restructuring of the state mass media agency, the redefinition of the state's executive organs and the establishment of the state's ethics and anti-corruption commission. Members of the council recommended for the increment of state's hospitals’ annual budget from the reserve budget saying the ten million Birr allocated would not be adequate for effective health service delivery.

The council has sacked Zeydan Bekri, who was member of the state’s cabinet and head of public mobilization, culture and social affairs bureau on the grounds of inefficient performance. The council appointed Emaj Indris in place of Zeydan.

Following the separation of the former education and capacity building bureau, the council has entitled Regassa Kefyalew to head the capacity building Bureau in addition to his current position as the state deputy head.

The council unanimously approved the appointment of Nebil Mohamed as the head of the State Education bureau.
