Puntland Parliament Looks Crap

What you think an RPG is? ROCKET PROPELLED GRENADE. There is no reason why we can get an RPG into a helicopter and fire it off onto targets or do you assume RPG are only used on ground? It's not my fault you do not know how to use air-sea-ground capabilities(helicopter) being one capability we have in the air and then combining it with a ground weaponry.
The point is the enemy has no air capability and to win wars you need to have a capability the enemy doesn't not just shoot at each other with the same tanks and technicals because that will come down to luck then. We in Puntland are about winning boy, we don't copy, we innovate.
Some guy thought of the idea using the pressure from a rocket and throwing a grenade on top of it, I am sure he had people laugh at him like you laughed at me to take our grenades and use helicopters which is a clear advantage over the enemy who won't be in the air.
I don't know if you are serious or lowkey bragging?
I am actually quite serious besides the front where the speaker is and the seating and microphone equipment which is semi ok, it's nothing flashy what else is there about the parliament? The emptiness of the parliament also make it looks crap, it's far to big and needs a re-design to fill the emptiness.
They need to fit it out properly like the ministry of finance, the walls need an upgrade and seem like they just equipped tiles on the walls, the ceiling looks the same and looks nothing like the great ministry of finance. They need to divide up the empty back side from the last parliament seat right at the back and create a barrier that is modern an equip modern seating with a barrier of course. The current barrier for diplomat, visitors, elders, foreign dignitaries, etc is totally crap barrier.
Anyways this parliament is very average by even Somali standards but somali standard is 4th world anyways so it's not really a measure of good design.
BTW an electronic voting system needs to be there with a wide screen tv tallying up the votes of each mp not anonymous though, their names must be made public for accountability on where they vote.
The parliament speaker and the cabinet are too much interlinked. They should be two separate institutions. That my only issue. And I don't like that there are microphones on each table. There should be one mic on stage for the main speaker, one mic across the stage for the MP that wants to interrupt. They have to stand up if they want to talk.
And the parliament should have its own channel/website so you can follow the discussions live. But I assume they hardly attend the parliamentary sessions
This is Africa after all
I'd trade off on the mics for electronic voting system any day. One key mic at the stage and one mic spot for the MPS is enough and then they go back to their seats after speaking. But electronic voting system is really needed for audit purposes on how our mps vote, for districts to know what their mp is voting for is in their interest, plus statistical reasons to ensure transparency and open-ness and to fight of corruption if it is there.
Notice how they just raise their hands up all in unison together as MPS? they hide their vote among many voters and the person following it cannot exactly see what happened. It's a good way to hide corruption by not identifying names and their votes so you can't really hold anyone accountable.
Puntland is funny corrupt place, rather then seeking just an individual or appealing to one mp, they basically say 'beeshina intas cod bay lee dahay' if you don't convince your clan to vote for me or I see a deviation in the vote for my presidential race or even on some big ticket project like passing through the bosaso port upgrade, they basically work out how many votes they were expecting and based on how many is missing they can easily work out which clan basically screwed them over on the race for presidency or not passing through some FDI port deal as they know the porportion each clan has in parliament. Mahmud Saleban believe it or not only have 12 seats. 4 omar, 4, isse, 4 osman.
Plus there is 1 extra seat that rotates depending on who is running for the presidency. So it will go to osman maxamud this year that extra 1 seat to ensure they win the election. When it's isse maxamud they get that 1 extra seat and when it's omar mahmud time they get allocated that seat. It's cause when the election gets tough especially when it's two big names going at it who are both known federalist, both loyal western-ethio-khaleej boys, things can start spinning anyway as their both gonna be cashed up.
For example if gaas runs again he is cashed up thru the state coffers, the port, the checkpoints, the foreign donations, etc. So if Sharmarke runs another big name who will get backing from the UAE he will need that 1 rotating seat to win or else it's going to be tight as hell like farole(sitting president, a federalist, plus western-dubai-ethio loyal man) came up against the same candidate in gaas who had time in mogadishu, loyal federalist(ended the tfg and made it official federalism), plus his loyal to western-dubai-ethio CLICK that farole is. That's why the race got real tight and that 1 vote that burnt is the rotating one that mahmud saleban agreed on to have just in-case the race does ever get tight.
