The meeting which was chaired by President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed focused on security matters in the run up to this very important meeting where Somalia is expected to adopt a new constitution that will wind up the current transitional period.

Speaking to the State owned radio, Interior and Security minister Abdisamed Maalim Mohamoud said bolstering security situation of the city before, during and after the forthcoming constitutional meeting was among issues discussed during the meeting.

The meeting recommended that an extra police be deployed into the area where the meeting is expected to be held in order to maintain security. It was also agreed that a general security plan be adopted to make sure that the forthcoming meeting is not interrupted.

The Wednesday night meeting comes hours after President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed paid a visit to the venue of the forthcoming constitutional meeting to oversee the preparation process.
