NAIROBI(Sh. M. Network)-Former Somali prime minister Mohamed Abdullah Farmajo has rejected Tuesday misappropriation, embezzlement charges during his time in office as PM for the current Transitional Federal Government in 2011.
While giving an exclusive interview with Shabelle Media via phone fromNairobi, Mr. Farmajo said: “the allegations suggested for me by the UN, quoting the present Somali Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali is totally baseless and false.”
When asked about statement made by PM Abdiweli Mohamed Ali who told UN Monitoring Group that the missing money intended for Somalia Government went into hands of his predecessor government, namely which led by Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo, he answered:
“It groundless accusation…my early government has fought against corruption inside the government and shown more competence and strenuous responsibility towards fraud, stealing,” formed Somali PM said.
Lastly, Mr. Farmajo added that Somali PM was one of his close friends and I it is unfortunate to hear such speech from him, because I helped to win the office.
The comments came after a report, written by the U.N. Monitoring Group on Somalia and obtained by The Associated Press Monday, saying government revenues aren’t even clear and that for every $10 received, $7 never made it into state coffers.
