macalimuu Posted December 29, 2004 Question- why is it that everyone wants to become a minister? Answer - government position will let you maintain a lavish lifestyle. a government official can have new villas and comfortably support two/four households by keeping atleast the new minyaro in Somalia and letting the minwayn collect welfare in europe or America. - some of the parliamentarians are paupers struggling to make ends meet by deceitful and unethical means. - siphoning government money into private accounts is a deeply well established practice in Somali government circles. - Unfortunately, that money will be begged from donor countries to build and restore the destroyed infrastructure (e.g., schools and hospitals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
