Somalia’s Auditor General accuses Turkish firms of evading financial accountability

MOGADISHU (HOL) – Somalia’s auditor general accused two Turkish firms running Mogadishu’s airport and seaport’s operations of resisting financial accountability, preventing his office from executing an audit into the country’s 2015 revenue.

Somalia has awarded millions of dollars contracts to the two Turkish firms last year to upgrade and run the Mogadishu seaport and airport’s operations.

Speaking at the parliament’s headquarters on Tuesday, Nur Farah accused the two companies Favori and Albeyrak of resisting an audit and accountability attempt by his office in a bid to ‘obscure’ the ‘actual’ proceeds from the airport and the seaport, the largest revenue source for the Somali government for the past two months.

“There’s no way we can close the annual fiscal book as long as these foreign firms that took over the airport and seaport’s operations are evading the accountability.” Mr. Farah told Somali legislators.

He however urged Somalia’s leaders to step into the matter before January next year, a month the government would have to submit its annual 2016 budget.

No comment could be reached from the two firms on the allegations.

Albayrak, the Turkish firm which runs Mogadishu seaport’s operation has transferred a one month revenue of $1.582, 000 million dollars to Somalia’s central bank in November last year, a significant revenue from the port which rarely reported ‘smaller’ returns before the foreign firm took over its operations.

Somalia’s government largely relies on foreign aid and donors’ funding to rebuild state institutions in the horn of Africa nation which is recovering from decades of war since the ouster of Islamist insurgents from the capital and surrounding regions in 2011.

Weren't the hutu nation so proud of their new masters, why are they crying now. Typical hutu baboons

Waraabe calm it bro. They made Mogadishu one and a half million literally out of thin air but they started hiding revenue recently and now they're being asked for transparency which is good

Yeah but they're creating revenue and they made it first class, you should see other major airports in Africa. Also it's not the only airport in the country so no big deal.
 
1.582.000 million usd? thats 1.58 billion usd one month revenue!!! thats crazy man.
i think you meant shillings cuz somalias total budget wasnt even 300m last year.
if that billion is correct then theyre fucked both companies will launder the money for the corrupt politicians.
ive read the auditor generals report the other day but it didnt mention how much money the port and airport made.

It's 1.5 billion. This article is a fake. They copied the number from an article written two years ago which did not mention any discrepancies. They government get 55% and it's a twenty year deal. Some of the 44% is also earmarked for improving the port. I don't think it's a bad deal at all.

no no. youre wrong @Shamis. if the port makes a billion every month it will be more than djibouti makes from ethiopia!
this 1 billion is what djibouti earns a whole YEAR from port fees and taxes!

Why can't it earn more? Is that what Djibouti makes a year or what Djibouti earns from Ethiopia a year?

It's not just the port but the airport as well. Both handle a lot of cargo.

Djbooty is very small that limits how much much money they could make.
Djbooty only has ethiopia as client no other country.
Mogadishu port doesn't get 1 billion a month some countries ports don't get a billion a year.
the more you upgrade and expand the port the more money you could make.
plus the country has 4 major ports already which will cut into mogadishu income:mjdontkno:

yes djib earns 1.5b port fees/taxes a year from ethiopia only but still their revenue isnt that big.
but if somalia collected 1.85b revenues a month from whole ports/airports and other taxes it could have been phenomenal seriously! that money could transform somalias social economic and security overnight.
anyway i believe the port has huge potential to bring more than them turkish claim.
its obvious why theyre refusin to be audited

If Kabaab leave Somalia today, the revenue will reach billions a year. Mogadishu port is one of the biggest in East Africa and has huge potential for expansion. The airport is already used by cargo planes so there's even more potential once the security becomes more reliable.

Turkey might be swindling here and there but I honestly trust them way more than a Somali firm who'll hire their nearest kin and pay next to nothing. Turkey has to obey international regulations.
