Sxb, the issue is bigger than then the tit for tat political games between militia and NN.P.S. And Nobody (wether Beyle, Farmaajo, Roble, Kheyre, HSM, etc) has so far being found guilty of embezzlement, but the country is merely in dire need of financial accountability from those officials that are responsible for public resources. Is that to much to ask?
This is the first time ever in the history of Somalia that a Parliament has called for financial accountability.
As public and concerned citizens, we have two choices here, 1) either we support that call and start a new trend making sure that administration and officials are called to be accountable, not only now but in all future cases; or 2) we defend those that are called to be accountable and let this slide. And then we will go, from dozens of millions yesterday (30 jir 30mln) being unaccounted for by previous administrations, to hundreds of million today being unquestioned and I promise you we will be talking about billion of dollars being embezzled in a few years by the next government.
No matter which official is at the helm, we need to have financial accountability. And if we don’t support now this Parliaments call for accountability then when will get it? My fear is that the new government will try to sweep this under the rug, so they will also have a cart blanche to do whatever, and in a few years you and others like MMA here will be crying that billions have been stolen by HSM. The choice is simple either we will have accountability or we won’t have it, no matter the personalities at the helm, no matter the political fights and no matter the amounts.
Make sure to choose wisely between those two choices, cause we will be coming back to this thread in future cases and know where everyone stood at the moments that counted where there was an opportunity in breaking the vicious cycle.
