Rais wa Somalia, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, amesema amesimamisha Madaraka ya Waziri Mkuu wa Taifa hilo, Mohammed Hussein Roble siku moja baada ya wawili hao kutuhumiana kuchelewesha Uchaguzi wa Bunge
Rais Mohamed amesema amechukua uamuzi huo kufuatia Uchunguzi wa tuhuma za Waziri huyo kujipatia ardhi kwa njia ya ulaghai
======
Somalia's president, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, said on Monday he had suspended the prime minister’s powers, escalating a destabilising dispute in the Horn of Africa country.
The president, who had suspended Prime Minister Mohammed Hussein Roble before over an earlier confrontation, said in a statement he had taken the action pending an investigation of accusations the prime minister had acquired land fraudulently.
The government spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A dispute between Mohamed and Roble has generated months of tension, which analysts say risks distracting the government from its fight against the al Qaeda-linked insurgency al Shabaab.
The suspension of Roble's powers comes a day after Mohamed and Roble accused other of holding up parliamentary elections.
Mohamed also said he had removed from office commander of marine forces, General Abdihakim Mohamed Dirir, while a similar investigation was being carried out.
Dirir or a spokesperson for him were not immediately available for comment.
