My only problem is, these people are appointed to very important departments, solely based on their Qabiil and not even having a background to do with the ministry they are assigned.

This is beyond effing unbelievable.

Why do you need background when u have 4.5

I agree with you sxb, we need to move away from Qabiil based system and hire/appoint people based on their resume iyo waxbarashadooda. This is why Africa would always stay a 3rd world bcuz of shit like this.

We should not expect different results when inexperienced or incomptent people are hired.
I recall one minister in a previous government who barely graduated from High School. That seems to be not a problem though. People buy fake diplomas and degrees to pass as someone with knowledge and their qabiil will support dotor hebel or brofosor hebel.

This is beyond effing unbelievable.

Majority of the top people in Key Ministers are well educated and well experienced regardless of their qabil.
This is a huge improvement from previous cabinets.

Glad to hear that sxb. This should be the trend where smart people are hired based on their qualification and not because they are from certain Qabiil.
