US & UK governments to charge Somalis if they commit grave instances of corruption

[Lord Flacko]

Good. Should keep Somali-Americans who are running like Faarmajo in check.

 

[Galaeri]

This is useless unless their is another Somali-American candidate other than Farmaajo.

I'm sure there are dozens of MPs and senior officials who are American.

Not useless at all

 

[Duchess]

Shit just got real.

But on Wednesday, U.S. mission in Somalia has warned Somali-American against election fraud on Twitter, saying the United States “committed to a credible electoral process in Somalia, grave instances of corruption by US citizens overseas are punishable under US law.”

Similarly, Harriet Mathews, British Ambassador to Somalia has stated “The UK Bribery Act also applies to British National overseas,” according to a post on its Twitter account on Wednesday.

Both countries threatened serious punishment over electoral corruption by its citizens who joined the new Somali Federal Parliament.

These coincide with growing criticism from the international community over Somali leaders’ decision to expand the Upper House chamber and revoke egregious cases of electoral malpractices during the parliamentary election.
