Best friend of Boris Johnson’s fiancee, Carrie Symonds, was given a paid official role without being announced.
The Interior Ministry announced in October that Nimco Ali had been appointed as an adviser to address violence against women and girls. The government position, for which he is paid £ 350 a day for around two working days a month, was not announced through any competitive application process.
The appointment poses work problems for cronies because it appears to have been created for Miss Ali, a prominent anti-FGM activist who is the godmother of Miss Symonds’s son with the Prime Minister.
Nimco Ali, 38, pictured left, is Carrie Symonds’ best friend and received a £ 350-a-day government advisory job without the position being out for bid.

The 38-year-old, who has wanted to run for conservative mayor in London, was given the job “to help shape our strategy to better target the perpetrators and support the victims of these crimes.”
A response to a freedom of information request from The Critic magazine revealed that the position was awarded through “a direct appointment process” that was “done without open competition” or even without publicity. There is no record of the existing post prior to your announcement.
The Interior Ministry insisted that the procedure was “appropriate for short-term advisory functions, for example, to lead a government review or to defend a specific subject area.” He added: “As this is a direct quote, the role was not advertised and it was not offered to anyone other than Miss Ali.”
The Somali-born activist is one of Miss Symonds’s closest friends and was photographed with her on a recent trip to Venice.
Last year he launched a global project to end female genital mutilation by 2030. The Daily Mail revealed last week that Johnson tried to give another close friend of Miss Symonds, former TalkRadio journalist Ross Kempsell, a £ 90,000 a year at Conservative. HQ party.
This newspaper also featured how Ms Symonds tried to prevent the prime minister from organizing a Covid crisis meeting to deal with a media dispute over her dog Dilyn.
