Yeah, he was spooked that the money was going directly from the World Bank to the local administrations and there was no opportunity for him to steal any of it.I think we should trust our prime minister, he probably saw something that spooked him as his not known to cancel something of that significance. Let us wait and see
World Bank Approves $112 Million to Strengthen Local Government Capacity and Provide Urban Infrastructure for Somalis
WASHINGTON, December 9, 2019 — The World Bank today approved a $112 million grant to deliver prioritized infrastructure in Somalia’s cities and strengthen municipal government capacity. The Somalia Urban Resilience Project (SURP) II will support infrastructure investments in strategic cities such as Mogadishu, Garowe, Kismayo and Baidoa while also laying the groundwork for expansion to cities in the States of Galmudug and Hirshabelle to achieve national coverage.
“This project is building on the gains of the existing Somalia Urban Resilience Project (SURP) and helping to show that using country Public Financial Management systems and allowing local governments to take the lead in delivering services to their citizens can be extremely effective,” said World Bank Country Manager for Somalia, Hugh Riddell. “This project empowers municipal and district governments to deliver tangible benefits to their citizens.
The financing for the Somalia Urban Resilience Project (SURP) II includes a $50 million IDA and $62 million co-financing from the Somalia Multi-Partner Fund (SMPF). In a context where cities are struggling to cope with the provision of basic infrastructure and services to a rapidly growing urban population, this project will focus on building the resilience of Somali cities. SURP II will strengthen municipal government capacity and help local governments deliver prioritized infrastructure to their citizens.
“We recognize that urbanization is a significant catalyst for development and if managed well, will provide a pathway out of poverty and act as an engine for growth for the people of Somalia,”said Marius Rauh, Head of Development Cooperation of the German Embassy in Nairobi. “To ensure effectiveness, we are putting citizen engagement at the heart of the project by involving communities in selecting and prioritizing infrastructure investments through a participatory decision-making process.” The German government via KfW development bank substantially supports the MPF with approximately $52 million focusing on the rehabilitation and expansion of productive urban infrastructure.
Communities will not only play a role in selecting the infrastructure projects that they need but also in choosing the community members that benefit from short-term labor opportunities and those to represent them within the grievance redress committees. The project will avail short-term income generation opportunities to put much needed money in the pockets of women, the urban poor and internally displaced persons.
“SURP Phase II will endeavor to address inequality and exclusion by focusing on infrastructure investments that help integrate the displaced population as well as the urban poor,” said the Minister of Public Works, Abdi Adam Hoosow. “The project will aim to ensure voices of the most vulnerable groups such as women, youth and the displaced are heard.”
The project agreement was signed between the World Bank and the Ministry of Finance with Federal Government of Somalia oversight.
The World Bank Group and other development partners have been supporting Somalia’s reforms since 2014 through the Somalia Multi-Partner Trust Fund (MPF), which finances government-led state-building for service delivery and economic growth, with over $447 million from eleven donors. The MPF is a pooled fund under the Somalia Development and Reconstruction Facility, which brings together Federal Government, Federal Member States, Parliament and the international community.

The project was approved by the world bank in December, there is literally nothing Kheyre can do to stop it. The full details are on the world bank website, all Kheyre did was embarrass himself and show the world how much of an cuqdad ridden rat he is.
What makes this even funnier is that Beyle signed off on the project already.

Remember this same man was against the building of Garacad port.
N&N are a malignant tumor on Somali society.
Sanaag gets nothing per usual..
Neither Hiirshabelle nor Galmudug have the institutional capacity to implement any infrastructure project. Kheyre is tying the development of the country to the laggard federal states his clan claims, that should tell you all you need to know about this administration. Galmudug and Hiirshabelle have not even managed to remove clan checkpoints in areas liberated from Alkabab, how the hell can they manage tens of millions?
I aint mad at him, atleast he is looking out for his huutu states. The nigga who is sitting in the name of Darood in the 4.5 system is constantly undermining PL/JL ee forget about anything else. Walahi i wouldn't even be mad at him if he took care of his Cabudwaaq or Gedo.

This is why we should make a case to get our shit separately and not be tied to them. Nacala kuyaal Villa Amisom.
@Crow have we created a Puntland Development Fund, this allows donor to 'circumvent' the government who love using aid money as 'political tools' and may cause Somali fragile situation to get worse. In-fact we need a 'Somali federal development fund' also. We need to advise the world donors this is the best way around politicians using donor funds to stir up conflict, bribes, political instability regionally or locally.
Wallahi it would help Somalia Stabilize much quicker if you keep development fund in the hands of respected local civil society members while you tell the politicians focus on how to use their damn budget properly to make mogadishu safe again to walk, no-one asked this nabad iyo noolal anything else.
Just make mogadishu safe, your given 300 million a year in foreign donations to do that and you can't even achieve this and you niggas want another 10 years to waste Somali time.

@TekNiKo thank you brother for the tanasul, you screwed up with Kheyre as PM, wallahi murusade are the most 'qabyalad filled' hawiye. Habar gedir ayaa dhaamo iyo 'abgaal waa gob weeye'. Wallahi Murusade are the worst little langaabs who never show u their 'hatred' either, way ku qarinayan, waxaa cuqdadasi gaadhsiyay langaabnimadooda.
They marry heavily with abgaal and even abgaal can't stand them, every murusade ay dhalan, the murusade child never helps their abgaal abti if they become successful, the sad thing is iyaguna isma cawina mursaduhu, waa dad aanu ka yaabay runti, waa the worst clan, their similar to Marehan, isma cawinayo isagu iyo beel kale cawin maayo, he is stuck in a cycle of 'nothingness'.

Farmaajo will leave office and Marehan will find themselves shut out of Jubaland & Galmudug with nothing to show for their 4 years in power. I would be Farmaajo's #1 supporter if he stole all this money and used it to build irrigation infrastructure in Gedo.
That's what I mean brother hadu murusade ama marehan noolayn laha, I wud be like 'geesinimo' lakin he won't he will just hold us back from progressing, what sort of policy is that, noolal ma rabi lakin adiguna ha noolan kkkk. The only clans who do this are divided clans ama clans with no plan and they feel they will be left behind cause they don't know how to do BOTTOM UP APPROACH UNITY.
