    "No one in government will be exempt from accountability, and anyone found guilty of failing to carry out a duty assigned to them will face the consequences."

    The Prime Minister made the remarks after visiting the hospitals where Al Shabaab's Hotel Hayat attack victims were being treated.

    Doctors at Erdogan and Medina hospitals briefed Prime Minister Hamse on the status of victims. 

    The Prime Minister stated that severe injuries that Somali doctors are unable to treat would be treated abroad at the expense of the Somali government.

    The Prime Minister's statement come on the heels of Somalia's deadliest attack since President Hassan Shiekh Mohamud took office. Officially, 21 people were killed and 117 were injured in the hotel attack, but hospital and ambulance officials believe the death toll could be higher.
