Somaliland’s Waddani party accuses ministry of health over corruption

Somaliland’s Waddani party has expressed dissatisfaction over the current health situation in Somaliland, alleging the ministry of health of misusing the public funds. The party believes the health condition of the people has declined as the authorities are not giving a special attention to it.

Mohamed Saddiq Dhamme, the social affairs secretary of Waddani party raising the accusation on Saturday noted that the ministry collected a lot of money from the Covid19 tests but it is unclear where and how they spent the money.

Dhamme said it is unfortunate that the Somaliland government can not offer even the cheapest medicines to the citizens for free after 30 years of self-governing. He urged the auditor general and the house of representatives to take their responsibility and investigate the case.

The official has made similar accusations against the ministry several times, however the authorities have not yet responded to this allegation.
