Protecting corruption officials by Somali-land government minsters related by skin is unethical

Few days ago, it was revealed into public the corruption committed by Somali-land National TV manager, which captures the public attention. Corruption is the misuse of entrusted power for private gain. It is a major barrier to development and the effective delivery of essential services, as it diverts funds away from activities intended for poverty reduction and sustainable economic growth.
Corruption can take many forms and includes bureaucrats demanding bribes for the delivery of basic services, theft of public assets such, kickbacks in government contracts, vote buying, and embezzlement of public funds. It also includes acts where money is not exchanged such as absenteeism, nepotism and cronyism.Corruption has the greatest impact on poor people because public services, on which they are particularly dependent, become disproportionately more difficult for them to access. Their inability to pay bribes means that they are often shut out from basic services like education, water and health care
Corruption acts as a major brake on economic growth. Countries with high levels of corruption regularly have lower rates of growth.Corruption can also make states more vulnerable to crisis by weakening the integrity of institutions, undermining security and law and order, and eroding public confidence in government. Corruption can lead to ‘money politics’ and undermine the decisions of democratically elected governments. Finally, corruption reduces development effectiveness and also loses the trust of aid donors, as the finance was collected tax payers of another countries, which will like if financial assistance used on personal gains. above is a brief explanation with respect to corruption.

 

However, the worst corruption ever noticed in Somali-land is one committed by our National TV manager, which is protected by the all the ministries related to him by blood. without naming them, Somali-land pubic are familiar those ministries. It is worth appreciation the heroic act demonstrated by the information minsters, Abdullahi Mohamed Dahir with regards the corruption committed within his ministry by some officials in national television. it is also worth appreciation the efforts taken by some ministries to stand against corruption , which later on ended with failure.  in conclusion, the question is, if some government ministers are protecting the corruption committed by their relatives iin other government minsters, how much the level of corrupting in their respective ministries either by themselves or their blood related officials within the same ministry. The answer is, it is obvious beyond any imagination.
