Norway pays Somalia's government salaries

 

Monday, September 09, 2013

 

Norway has started paying the salaries of Somalia's government bureaucrats believing that this is the best way to help the fledgling state establish itself.

 

Money from Norway's aid budget is going towards paying the salaries of 380 public employees in the country, with Price Waterhouse Coopers managing the transfers.

 

The first payments were made last week, and went to workers in the country's Ministry of Finance and country's Auditor General, two organisations which need to be functional for the country to be able to fight the government corruption seen in the previous transitional administration.

 

"What we expect is a strengthened public financial sector, which can control the budget, be transparent with their projects, and so enhance the reputation of the government," Norway's international development minister Eidsvoll Holmås said of the project.

 

Last year, Somalia's parliament elected Sheikh Hassan Mohamud as its new president, but the state's ability to administer and control the country remains weak.

 

"In Somalia, international organizations run schools, healthcare and do everything that a state is normally expected to do," Holmås said. "Building up the state's competence allows it to increase its legitimacy, and so you get greater incentives to create political stability and peaceful development."

 

The payments are administered by PricewaterhouseCoopers and employees must register biometric data to ensure that the payments go only to the intended recipients.

Definitions of an occupied country, you have Bantus running the streets and Europeans running the government buildings.

what a humiliation. soon qoslaye's govemrent will also be told the NGOs will clean their rooms and cook food because they are not trusted.

 

giving bags of khaki envelopes to Unuka clansmen was the last straw for the international communty. we have seen the highest corruption in a generation in this goverment, so i am not surprised qoslaye will not be trusted with money in the future.

You have to understand that the only reason there's corruption is because of people like malistar that will protect their uncle's reputation no matter what. If this was Abdullahi Yusuf they would be checking how much his shoes cost and where he got the money from.

Hassan Sheikh Mohamud Resumed is impressive i don't need to protect his reputation . Support Your Government Somalia is on the Road to recovery it wont stop for No One .

 

Being a critic of SFG is fine but to try to delegitimize the SFG because of tribe reasons i can't support .

[Mad_Mullah]

Then the SFG should be less focused on tribal stuff. So secure Xamar so that Bantu troops aren't needed instead of talking about Jubbaland 24/7.

Hassan Sheekh Maxamuud would have been a great leader if he was empty of clan interests. Sadly he thrives on tribalism.

The only people denying it are from his click. Same with AY.

Problem is there is no building of professional army happening now, it is just arming HAG militia to be honest with you who will soon the turn the guns on each other.
