Muite leads five MPs in mission to Somaliland

[Jacaylbaro]

Five MPs visited Somaliland on a five-day fact-finding mission.

 

Kabete MP Paul Muite is leading the team which incudes Mr Oloo Aringo (Nominated), Mr Maoka Maore (Ntonyiri), Mr Patrice Ivuti (Kitui South) and Aldai's Jimmy Choge.

 

The leaders left the country yesterday accompanied by former MP Aden Abdullahi, who is also the Former Parliamentarians Association treasurer.

 

Somaliland is a former British protectorate which gained its independence on June 26, 1961.

 

It joined Southern Somalia which attained independence in July 1960 to form the Republic of Somalia.

 

It, however, declared independence following the overthrow of Siad Barre.

 

True situation

 

Mr Muite said owing to increased interest in Somaliland, the members are expected to gather "credible information regarding the true situation to warrant consideration for recognition as a separate state."

 

The Horn of African country has been without a government since Barre was deposed over a decade ago.

 

And Islamic Courts leaders are fighting an interim transitional government that took over last year.

 

Last month, Foreign Affairs minister Raphael Tuju started talks to defuse tension in Somalia and announced that he was working with Igad to set up measures geared to prevent more deaths.

 

Foreign Affairs permanent secretary Thuita Mwangi said the Government was concerned about recent bomb attacks in Baidoa in which four people were killed.

 

"Kenya condemns the perpetrators of the suicide bomb in Baidoa and we call on all parties to exercise maximum restraint," the PS said.

Actually,they are going there just to rake in "miles" to increase their allowances. They command little or no political power in regards to kenya's policy making and or influence.

 

Well,what will they find out that they have not heard before? Somaliland is safe,its development is forward and its citizens all want to be independent. What else will they gathher? Its a waste of public monies,me thinks
