UNDP set to Manage Somali Election’s Money

In an exclusive interview with Goobjoog News, the Spokes person of Somali Indirect Electoral Team Mohammed K’naan disclosed that the United Nations Development Programme in Somalia will manage the entirety of this year’s elections money.

The announcement came just in two days after the Team officially opened intermediary bank account at Dahabashil International Bank for Somali Parliamentary and presidential candidates.

‘We have opened the Bank accounts for candidates to deposit their candidacy registration fee, but at the end UNDP will manage all the money’ said K’naan.

International Community pledged to pay 60 percent of elections funds while 40 remaining percent will be extracted from candidate’s registration fee and Federal Governments budget.

Yesterday, Somali Indirect Electoral Team warned off a possible delay of elections and asked National Leadership Forum to accelerate the process of Hiiran and Middle Shebelle regions Upper house candidates.
