MOGADISHU, Somalia, June 10, 2015(Garowe Online)-Despite huge financial backing by international partners and revived domestic revenues from the busy port , Somalia’s Federal Government has not paid its employees for up to four months, Garowe Online reports.
Employees who spoke on condition of anonymity said, with a week left to the fasting month of Ramadan they are languishing in woes.
They complain of the long overdue salaries-something justified due to delayed cash aid and shortage of funds by Mogadishu-based Federal Government officials.
Having known for its souring prices of food commodities, Mogadishu is more likely to brace up for a wave of Al Shabaab rampages in the holy month of Ramadan.
Mogadishu residents hope that the possibility of stable level of prices at markets seems remote, prompting civil servants outcry.
At a leadership forum in Puntland capital of Garowe in May, Somalia President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud along with the leaders of Federal Member states called for review of Brussels pledges.
UN experts disclosed widespread corruption and how financial institutions got mired into a patronage system for private bloc within Somalia’s Federal Government in a confidential report.
