The president said that the government has commenced probe into a cartel of individuals both in the government and outside who are issuing illegal documents to government properties including educational institutions and other areas in the country.

Farmajo further added that the government will take stern measures against found selling land in the country and that they will be held accountable for their actions and stated that the current electoral situation of the country has compelled him to suspend issuance of licenses and land transactions.

Sources close to Somalia government understand that President Farmajo and Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble are in concurrent on the emotive land issue in the Horn of Africa State and hold similar standings on the same.
