Abdirahman IRRO waddani candidate turned out to be a great chief "Aqil” a failed national leader since he ruled the past parliament 2005 to 2017. He permitted his own cronies to wallow in the same troughs. Corruption undermines democracy and good governance by flouting or even subverting formal processes. Corruption erodes the institutional capacity of government if procedures are disregarded, resources are drain off, and public offices are bought and sold. Corruption undermines the legitimacy of government and such democratic values as trust and tolerance. Political corruption is the use of power by government officials for illegitimate private gain. An illegal act by an officeholder constitutes political corruption only if the act is directly related to their official duties, is done under color of law or involves trading in influence.

IRRO today controlled by others in his party seems not fit to rule or to be the next president. The Somaliland people have come a long way in the past two decades. Somaliland is also a sea of calm in a region infested with terrorism, famine and clan and tribal driven conflict. IRRO is nothing but broken promises, he came short on people’s expectations. He failed to rule the parliament and become weak nothing but (pay me) to pass a law!. majority of Somalilanders are going for a change and they deserve good that and a chance for a better life . IRRO well not be that choice for the next term, Indeed it is the time for a new generation to take the helm of Somaliland leadership.

My advise to IRRO is to resign and send himself back to his retirement home in Finland!.
