Most of the money @TheVillaSomalia claims will be used to renovate federal & regional institutions.

President Farmaajo claims the Saudis will help finance a new international airport in Mogadishu (probably outside)

Replying to @adancabdulle and @TheVillaSomalia
The idea of a new international airport located outside Mogadishu has been in the works since the 1980s as current airport is untenable

Farmaajo asked for the safe return of the maids and they bribed him with this

Wow 4 billion for maids, dude they could build robot for every family in Saudi

 

[felloff]

$4 billion dollars is like $40 million now a days eygpt got 20 billion from saudia arabia and pakistan go 46 billion from china when will we get a sugar daddy developer for our underdeveloped nation

 

[daacad]

let's hope that does not go to waste

 

[Ras]

Let me guess that $4 billion would actually be given to Saudi contractors working on overpriced projects in Somalia. There is no way on earth they'll give Farmaajo billions in cash.

bububu what have the arabs ever done for us?

 

[Hemaal]

Who are they cutting the ties with now?

There should be a diaspora voluntarily tax, where anyone can contribute to Somali development projects, as long as it's monitored and the donors can see developments, I'm pretty sure alot of diasporas would contribute

 

[horumar]

What did his Excellency Farmaajo do to deserve this?

 

[Prince of Lasanod]

It has to be 100% transparent in terms of the operations of the project (no nepotism, fluff projects or fraudulent procurement).

Furthermore, the project owners should be held accountable for not delivering (make it a loan from the gov to the developers not free grants to companies or gov departments).

The #1 project the FGS should be seeking funding for is a road linking Kismayo with Dolo. All other projects are meaningless compared to it.

Roads won't be maintained and are hard to monetise. A railway would probably be more economical, profitable and safer since no one hijacks trains anymore since the days of the wild west.

Kkkkkk so they are planning to build another airport for Mogadishu with that money while other regions get nothing?

No wonder puntlanders want federalism
