22 February 2014
H.E Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed, member of his Cabinet and civil society members today attended the funeral service of the Permanent Secretary, Office of the Prime Minister, who was killed in yesterday’s cowardly attack.
“It is with great sadness that I learnt of the death of my Permanent Secretary Mohamud Hersi Abdulle “Inda-ase’ in yesterday’s futile terrorist attack. I send mine, my Cabinet and my entire office's condolences and prayers to his family and friends at this time of loss.
“Mohamud worked tirelessly since leaving a successful teaching career in Canada 18 months ago to return to Somalia to serve his county. Serving as Permanent Secretary to both myself and former Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon Saacid. He was a key figure in driving through much of the progress our country has made in the last year and has been a steadfast source of counsel for me personally since I took office”
“He will be remembered fondly by all those that were fortunate enough to work with him, both Somalis and those from the international community. A man with huge humility, commitment and resolve to improve the lives of his fellow countryman.
This loss and yesterday's desperate attack will not derail this government's reforms policies as we build a strong united Somalia. These attacks only serve to unite us and make us more determined in our task of rebuilding our country.” Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed said.
