The current shady president Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud who is notoriously known to make lengthy speeches, is extremely controversial. What he says and does is incomparable. His behavior is typically illusory and lacks humility displaying the character of knowing everything is a sign of a dictatorship employing his family, wife, daughter, sons, brothers, nephews, nieces, employing one’s own kids and close relatives and encouraged government officials to do the same. This statement has effectively made nepotism legal as a means of serving the country.
According to Kenyan President William Ruto said Somalia currently lacks a working government due to the president’s actions that seem to be leading the country toward becoming the worst banana republic in history. The lack of shame and ethics in his leadership suggests that he is more interested in personal gain and maintaining power than in serving the needs of the people.
