Masha'Allah a positive step forward, i just hope that since Mogadishu is the only region/city that pays Tax, that only they should participate in the election, but knowing how clannist this Farmaajo is, he will probably allocate this seat to his unworthy Clan (that refuses to pay Taxes).

Anyway for this news i will hope for the best while taking with a pinch of salt, knowing that all expectations of this corrupt clannist government has been noted as a failure so far.

I hope the current wasiirka maaliyadda, Md. Beyle, himself becomes one sooner. He seems to understand his wasaarad and the wider monetary policies. I don't think any before him since 1990 understood what wasiirka maaliyadda did.
