- Across the world, the reputation of
every government is important as good reputation is more valuable than
money. In this regard, Somaliland government has reacted positively
the public demand with regard the government owned property
registration. Over the last few months, Somaliland government has
successive steps intended returning Somaliland strategic assets to
public ownership.
Not long ago, Somaliland president Muse Abdi has
taken heroic steps correcting the mismanagement involved by former
government with regards Somaliland strategic interest assets. The
president transferred to public ownership many assets the former
government awarded to their preferred contracts which was illegal and
served the interest of individual pockets.
The contracts awarded the former
government to some contractors were based on favouritism and power
abuse and against the public interest. This is the main reason that
encouraged Somaliland president to correct the mismanagement committed
by Somaliland former government. Public property is owned by the entire
public and as a result Public property should remain in the hands of
public ownership as this is in line with public interest. Somaliland
president has invalidated the contracts awarded by former government to
contracts that have close connection to some members of former
government as it was not serving the public interest of Somaliland
people.
Public property means public
investment and as a result, public investment cannot be transferred to
private property. Somaliland Public properties are jointly owned by
Somaliland people collectively. The president courageousness decision
has attained has received 100 % approval across Somaliland as patriotism
runs deeper than flag. Transferring Somaliland pubic owned property in
the hands of private ownership was the greatest threat committed against
Somaliland strategic interest.
Pubic owned property are built with
public money which is from the taxes we pay to the government and as a
result, our tax money cannot be transferred to private ownership.
Zooming up, it is duty of every Somaliland to support the government
decision with regard registering public property being public asset
owned by Somaliland collectively.
