In the civilized world people usually enter politics after having some degree of success in their life before politics. They're usually educated in renowned institutions, make a very nice living, be it business owners that employ people, Attorney's, CEOs, etc. Their home lives are usually stable, and they campaign with their Wives, children clearly visible. They're also usually involved heavily in the community they want to represent, before they try to represent them. Contrast this with Somalia:
-Most Mps have a non-existent, to dysfunctional at best family life. They most probably left a Mother high, and dry somewhere to raise kids on the welfare system. The Xildhibaan gig is actually a means to get a younger wife in Somalia. Tell me how is a man who is Ghayr Masuul with his family, going to be diligent in being responsible for a whole region's welfare?
-These MPs are usually uneducated. If they can read English, Somali at a 6th grade level it's a miracle.
-They're usually unemployed before politics, or work very menial jobs that have absolutely zilch to do with the actual job they are signing up for in the Somali Government.
-These MPs usually have foreign passports, and did not spend any time in the community they claim to represent before they were elected, and definitely not after.
I know this is very naïve, will never happen but in a perfect world I'd propose future Somali Governments have background checks. The following criteria has to be proven, or their application to be Xildhibaan or any sort of Government official will be rejected:
-A College Degree from a known University. No shady fake degrees from India, or elsewhere.
-A proven track record that you have been providing for your wife, and family.
-Must be employed in a professional job, that is in the sector you wish to gain employment in the Somali Government.
-Must spend 2 years in the region you wish to represent, prior to seeking to be an MP.
