    Nairobi, Kenya (HOL) - The United Nations Envoy to Somalia, ambassador Augustine Mahiga, has told the media that the high level consultative meeting due in Nairobi on 12th and 13th of this month can take place even without Somali government participation.

     

    ‘The agenda of the Nairobi conference include creating a good working relationship between the government and the parliament because there is no cooperation between these two institutions right now’, said ambassador Mahiga, adding that the conference was not intended to make decisions.

     

    The UN envoy said that the conference had been postponed twice in March and early April on the request of the Somali government.

     

    ‘If the Somali President wants another conference to be held in Mogadishu, we will do that, but we will not cancel this meeting even if the government does not attend ’, said Mahiga.

     

    Ambassador Mahiga also said that the arbitrary extensions of the parliament’s own term of office and similar action by the government caused the dispute between the two institutions, saying the government did not consult with the parliament on the extension of its mandate.

     

    ‘The parliament has the constitutional right to extend the government’s mandate, so the government should first get the blessing of the parliament to extend its term of office’, said Dr. Mahiga.

     

    Meanwhile, the UN envoy to Somalia said the decision by the Somali Prime Minister’s office to have all UN agencies working for Somalia to relocate to Mogadishu was right but the time limit of 90 days is unrealistic.

     

    ‘We work on the ground in Somalia, even in Mogadishu, but we mainly operate in Puntland and Somalland and our workers go to Mogadishu daily’, said ambassador Mahiga.

     

    The envoy said that there were 22 aid agencies with 1500 employees of which 750 are Somali citizens in Mogadishu, adding that his organization will increase the number of Somali UN staff, adding that there was a green zone in Iraq where aid agencies operate peacefully and that there is a need to similar arrangement in Mogadishu so that all UN workers can operate in the country peacefully.
