I need more info. Its a good Idea to hold election.

[SOO MAAL]

Puntland should complete the democratic process; citizens should elect all officials in all levels of government.

 

Local elections is crucial component of the democratic process, and without local elections Puntland democracy will be incomplete, as well as the only way to solve SSC regions crisis and Somaliland-Puntland conflict is through democratic process, and respecting the will of the people in SCC regions.

 

I just want to remind those who oppose democracy, and self determination of the people inSSC regions, the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." It is the ultimate norm of high morality in all cultures and religions that we should treat people as we would like to be treated.

 

In Islam, Our prophet Mohammed (May peace and blessings be upon him) said "No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself."

 

 

Indeed local elections is a great initiative. And no one can resist the will of the people.

"Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people"

Abraham Lincoln (American 16th US president (1861-65), who brought about the emancipation of the slaves. 1809-1865)

its a good idea that puntland is going to hold local elections, most important being that puntland completes the democratic process from top to bottom. but there are arguments for and against local elections.

 

arguments for local elections:

 

- completion of puntlands democratic process

- shacabka always choose the one that is commited to the ppl, so that means a more commited local government

- local government with huge support of the ppl to work with, making its job easier

- shacabka iyo xukuumadda are drawn closer together

- shacabka are more involved with local governance, becuz the local elections gives them the feeling that they are the government

- one of a series of major blows to somalilands recognition for SSCs identity as puntlanders

- development organisations more comfortable seeing puntlands local governments as (reliable) partners with a proper mandate of its ppl

 

 

arguments against local elections:

 

- it can cause deep and intense division between shacabka

- incompetent but popular men can take hold of a responsible position

- the elections is expensive, time consuming, risky and maybe therefore not worth the trouble

- since puntland still has a ban on parties since the c/yussef days (wtf :mad: ) local governments can clash with the central government in garoowe on issues

 

 

its a good idea, becuz everything worthwhile brings risks. and just see it this way, why oppose local elections if the arguments against it also applies for presidential elections. faan iga ma ahan, but puntlanders are too politically mature and qabiil weary to allow serious problems. a face of puntlands political maturity is no doubt my man maxamed cabdi xaashi, ex-puntland president.

 

class A will start wich are the four biggest towns, boosaaso, gaalkacyo, laascaanood and garoowe. class B are for example buuhoodle, qardho, badhan and class C are for example jariiban, taleex, baargaal etcetera.

 

like i said about the development organisations, haddi ay yihiin soomaali like the pdrc, gecpd or foreign like undp, sacb. theyll have more trust in implementing projects in puntland without worrying about clashing with disturbing characters of the government like in the past. i personally think the un is playing some kind of role behind the scene, cuz its kinda unusual for the PL gov to rush this. normally garoowe is slow as hell.

 

 

kollayba i voted that its a good idea.

[Emperor]

Good news, let them do it.

[BN]

Very good news. Maybe Cadde wasn't such a bad choice after all...
