Hassan Mohamed Hussein
According to Hussein, the decision to remove the barricades was in response to demands by pedestrians and drivers to permit again access to the roads, and was facilitated by improvements in local security.
[6][7] Hussein's administration had appointed the District Commissioners through a new selection process centered on the officials' respective professional background and educational qualifications.
[8] On 27 July 2014, Hussein survived a landmine explosion targeting a convoy he was traveling in near the Lafweyn hotel in Mogadishu's Huriwa district.
[3] In August 2014, Hussein's office announced strict new regulations to control the importation of medication and foodstuffs by aid agencies operating in Mogadishu.
The officials discussed various municipal matters, including reconstruction, development, social service delivery and security initiatives in the capital.
According to Benadir administration spokesman Ali Mohamud Seko, the Polish firm pledged to support the city authorities' efforts at strengthening safety.
The two officials discussed a number of bilateral issues, including strengthening municipal security, training local government forces, and engaging the indigent.
Additionally, Hussein urged the firm to continue the development activities that it had already begun, and commended it for its existing work in support of the Somali government and general public.
He added that construction of the station was overseen by the Benadir regional administration, with funding provided by the United States Agency for International Development.
Additionally, the governor noted that the police station was one of several developments completed during district commissioner Abdifatah Noor Ali's eight months in office, which also include new tarmac roads and four administration departments.
Hussein likewise announced that his administration was slated to open new health centers providing free medical expertise, schooling and other social services to residents in the broader Benadir region.
The initiatives include a new road and health center, which aim to improve the area's aesthetic appeal and social service delivery.
District Commissioner Omsan Muhiadin Ali Arif also took part in the launch event, and commended Hussein for implementing the development projects.
The officials touched on municipal sanitation, and ways in which the Mogadishu government and residents could spruce up the capital ahead of various international conferences that are slated to be held there.
[19] As part of its municipal beautification campaign, the Benadir administration concurrently razed illicit kiosks from the sidewalks between Makka Al-Mukarama's Jubba and Dabka junctions.
According to Benadir Deputy Governor Mohamed Ahmed Diriye, street car washes in the Banaadir area would thereafter be disallowed, as they constitute a public nuisance.
