Those ministers are puppets and cannot say or do anything without TPLF approval. The state regional government of the Somali region answers to the Tigray People Liberation Front.
Sure there are ministers in Ethiopia who are somali and deputy ministers and the kilinka shanaad administration is run by somalis them selfs with their own cabinet i mean i dont think one oppressor is better then the other for sure Ethiopia is oppressing the somali people in that region , the only thing is the NFD people gave up and just accepted while the people in the somali region in Ethiopia are still fighting and did not gave up the struggle to have an independent country run by somalis and not tigrays..
They are like uncle Toms who work for the master. This is a tactic always used by the oppressors; they claim no abuse or oppression occurs since one of you people is working within the government. This is a ploy used throughout the centuries by corrupted governments.
How can you accept rule of a government which uses collective punishment on a civilian population and has a total media blockade on the region. Just read HRW reports on the Ogaden. Kenya doesn't have these reports on them
