Hargeisa (SL Times) - Sources close to the government have told the Somaliland Times that president Dahir Rayale is considering the establishment of a giant security agency for domestic spying.
The agency is expected to be headed by a former officer in the now defunct National Security Service (NSS), the source said.
The new agency will also incorporate the Migration department and the CID, both of which currently come under the Ministry of the Interior, the source added.
According to Somaliland's constitution, the country can only have three types of security forces: the Army, the Police and the Custodial Corps (prison guards).
The security committees established by late president Egal had been declared illegal by the Somaliland House of Representatives. However, the so-called security committees are still operative throughout the regions of Somaliland.
