German companies to help rebuild capital

    NAIROBI
    An official representing a consortium of German companies interested in the rebuilding of Somalia's infrastructure met with interim President Abdiqassim Salad Hassan, on Saturday. Reinhardt Lotha, who represents companies involved in construction, power generation and water rehabilitation, said that Mogadishu reminded him of Berlin after the Second World War. He recommended that parts of the city be preserved for historical purposes, an official in the President's Office told IRIN. Meanwhile, the newly appointed Governor of the Central Bank of Somalia, Mohamud Muhammad Ulusow, was sworn in on Friday. Ulusow, who was appointed on 8 March, held various senior posts in the last Somali government. He is a former Minster of Agriculture, and Director General of the Ministry of Finance.
