Everything is working for president’s silanyo government, but below to the to the acceptable usual standards, which means below 50 % efficiency

Prior to enter on the execution office, president Silanyo took oath  affirmation to do solemnly swear (or affirm) that he will faithfully execute the office of President of Somaliland and declare that he will act  the best of his as ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Somaliland. But has president translated that oath into reality. I believe not at all reason being the following?  Upon wiping this protocol, the president has formed his cabinet what as present close to 50 ministers or assistant minsters. But when president who is from the country with the largest economy in world USA with trade output in 2012 was $15.94 trillion, which is one fifth of the world’s total economy have only 14 ministries, which are Secretary of state.  Secretary of defence. Secretary interior. . Secretary agriculture.   Secretary commerce. Secretary. Secretary housing. Secretary transport. Secretary energy. Secretary education.  Secretary veteran affairs.   Secretary homeland security.  Secretary Agriculture. The country with the biggest economy in the world which is almost US $ 16  trillion have only 14 ministries whereas a very poor country,  Somaliland with the latest budget figure of US $ 152 million has 46 ministries. Somaliland cabinet miniseries are over three times to that of USA. In reality this far from any human mentality thinking. When Somaliland needs desperately more teachers, more doctors, more nurses, more and more, president silanyo prefers appointing more ministries than recruiting the actual true needs for the people.

 

This indicates that president prefers to have individual friends than becoming friend with 3.5 million somalilanders. Therefore in the event there are Unpatriotic citizens in Somaliland, the first one is the president himself .Unpatriotic means not showing love for his people and country. Apart of the above over70 % of his cabinet are unqualified to hold the post ministries. Furthermore the most influential heavy ministries like foreign are busy either on tribal activities or corruption activities. The total population of Somaliland surprised what influenced foreign ministers responsible for external matters to involve Hargeisa water projects and which direction the water piping system will be implemented. This indicates two true factors. Number one is that, the minster loses hope for the actual assignment that he was appointed for, which was to look on diplomatic recognition for Somaliland from the international community. The second is one is that; the minister prefers tribal interest than the actual interest of the entire population of Somaliland. In truthfully, both of the factors are true. Our foreign minister is just business broker, as currently negotiating with a French company to hire the company berbera port, which is the life line of our economy.

 

The ministers looking after small commission from the French company as kick back for the business deal.   A kickback is a form of negotiated bribery in which a commission is paid to the bribe-taker as a quid pro quo for services rendered. Generally speaking, the remuneration (money, goods, or services handed over) is negotiated ahead of time. The kickback varies from other kinds of bribes in that there is implied collusion between agents of the two parties, rather than one party extorting the bribe from the other. The purpose of the kickback is usually to encourage the other party to cooperate in the illegal scheme.”Kickback brokers” are individuals who may not receive the kickback personally, but who help link the individual or company providing the goods or services with individuals capable of assisting with the illegal payments. For helping to link the two colluding parties, either or both parties may make a payment to this “broker. Kickbacks are one of the most common forms of government corruption. In some cases, the kickback takes the form of a “cut of the action,” and can be so well known as to be common knowledge—and even become part of a nation’s culture.

 

The way president handles his government influences citizens to be less patriotic as he allocated and appointed the most important ministries for certain clan from Somaliland and other clans are prohibited and therefore, did not see any harm or wrong in the event in any citizen originated from Somaliland appointed as highly respectable jobs like foreign from Somali federal government like in the minster Bayle or Fosia Hajji in the past. in fact what we see at present is not less racism or injustice behaviour.  Racism consists of both prejudice and discrimination based in social perceptions of biological differences between peoples. It often takes the form of social actions, practices or beliefs, or political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other, based on presumed shared inheritable traits, abilities, or qualities. It may also hold that members of different races should be treated differently. Some consider any assumption that a person’s behaviour is tied to their racial categorization is inherently racist, regardless of whether the action is intentionally harmful or pejorative Injustice is a quality relating to unfairness or undeserved outcomes. The sense of injustice is a universal human feature, though the exact circumstances considered unjust can vary from culture to culture. While even acts of nature can sometimes arouse the sense of injustice, the sense is usually felt in relation to human action such as misuse, abuse, neglect, or malfeasance that is uncorrected or else sanctioned by a legal system or fellow human beings. The sense of injustice can be a powerful motivational condition, causing people to take action not just to defend themselves but also others who they perceive to be unfair.Zooming up all true based explanation put in plain words in the above, Somaliland has entered uncertainty future which no one can predicate its effects. One has to keep in mind that we have not completed healed from Somaliland civil war from 1994 which lasted in 1997 as this still in a memory of plenty of us, reason being they still remember their love ones died as a consequence of war. Without elaboration, it is true that history repeats by itself
