Waging War on Corruption
By:-Dahir Salad Hassan Political Counselor Permanent Mission of Somalia to the United Nations, New York 04 Jun 2023 Waging a well-thought out and systematic war on corruption is paradigm-shift that would lead to efficient, effective and result-oriented public sector management as well as institutional check and balance. Somalia’s current government is on the right track to increase political accountability and retrace and re-claim the democratic values which we championed the African continent as being a young, unified, an independent country in the sixties (60). Our own history admits that democracy not only ensures good and accountable government institutions with checks and balances, but also empowers the citizens to participate and hold their government accountable. Our forefathers fought for the liberation of the country from European colonial rulers, therefore, it us, our generation that must stand up and liberate the country from the extremist ideology and corruption.
