Somalia South West governor Abdiaziz Lafta Gareen has slammed Mohamed Hussein Roble, saying he would never accept political checkpoints and extortion.

Lafta Gareen argued that the road was paved and that lowlife Roble was illegally holding seats in the administration, in exchange for others he rejected, he said.

“One of the things I disagree with is that the conditions are such that he will not be elected as a member of parliament, he will not pay for that and we will release him. Today, in 2022, we will not accept political checkpoints and extortion,” he said.




He also noted that Roble’s personal interests and those of his close associates were being exploited by his administration, which he described as “impossible”.

“We do not want a man who works for his house (Roble) to be a member of parliament, we want a man who works for the South West to be a member of parliament. If that worked for your housekeepers in Bosaso and the area where you came from you would be escorted.”

He added, “So you can’t force us and we will not accept anything that Somalis do not have. I do not accept it. ”

Lafta Gareen, who is understood to be backing the president Farmajo, has previously cut ties with lowlife Roble, who is the country’s top election official and same time commiting election fraud.
