Funds and income gained under the name of Somalia will not be restricted into one part of the country according to President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo.

Presiding over the leadership council of Puntland state assembly, president Farmaajo noted the disbursement of the economy gained from abroad to be distributed fairly across all the regions in the country.

“Income brought into the country under the name of Somalia will not be subjected to one area only. It will be a symbol for all the needs in the country because we serve the people” president Farmaajo told the gathering.

He particularly pointed out that this issue was a central pillar in the talks he had with the state president Dr. Abdiweli Ali Gaas but informed him that Puntland and the rest of the country will be assisted when funds are available.

“I inform you that state president Dr. Gaas has solely spoken 90% about it with me. He asked me where is their share for the funds brought for the Somalis since they have many problems including developmental programs. He asked me to specifically outline their share. Truly before there was nothing much but now there is hope. We shall reach out to Puntland and the entire Somalis as well” said president Farmaajo.

Yesterday President Farmaajo flew to Garowe, Puntland state leading an entourage made up of federal ministers and MPs.

It is the first official visit by the Somali president since he was elected in February 2017 and he is expected to inaugurate today the newly built airport in the state capital.
