NAIROBI,-Kenya Foreign Affairs Minister Moses Wetangula on Monday expressed fears that Somali’s transitional federal government (TFG) has failed to make significant progress in achieving goals spelt out in charter that established it five years ago.

Wetangula expressed his fears to Somalis President Abdullahi Yusuf who is in the country to attend the extraordinary summit of the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) scheduled to start on Tuesday in Nairobi.

The summit brings together various political parties of Somalia to discuss the political affairs of the country.

The TFC charter is the principle organizing document of the Somali Republic, written and approved in February 2004 in Nairobi.

Wetangula said that with only 9 months left before the expiry of the charter Somalia has not been able to come up with a new constitution within five years as spelt out in the charter.

He said Somalia has not been able to conduct a national population census and come up with legislation that will legalize political parties in the war-torn country.

He said the IGAD meeting will prove a good chance for IGAD countries to provide an audit of the performance of TFG for the past four years.

Presidents Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, Omar Guelleh of Djibouti, Mwai Kibaki of Kenya and Ethiopian Prime Minister Melles Zenawi are expected to attend the meeting.

IGAD member countries are Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda.
