Somalia President rebuffs cabinet reshuffle by his Prime Minister

The President describe the cabinet reshuffle as unconstitutional and done without his consent .

The President urged the cabinet members not to accept the reshuffle made the Prime Minister and remain their posts as it was done previously.
