It has long been that positions in the Somalia corrupt President Hassan Sheikh’s family are being sought to quickly make money, with Mogadishu being the easiest place to do so, where there are no conscious citizens who can say “no” to those who are constantly thinking about how to get their money back.

But has now been turned into a reality of money laundering, as President Hassan Sheikh’s family and regime has increased the general tax rate several times, and non-taxable funds are being laundered in Mogadishu under various names, and then locked up for specific people. This week, three illegal funds were invented at once.

The order for these looted funds does not go through the federal cabinet, parliament, or the country’s financial institutions. Only the minister or the head of the relevant institution makes this decision, and then the public is forced to search their pockets.

Most of the time, these types of projects are funded by the president’s family or someone who can complete the matter on the side of President Hassan Sheikh or defend the project when it is agreed upon.

The federal government’s Ministry of Health, the National Institute of Health and affiliated businesses tried yesterday to implement a plan to charge $45 to everyone traveling abroad or coming from using Aden Adde Airport.
They calculated that more than 1 million people could be reached within 2 years, which amounts to $45 million that they want to divert from a few people.
Health books are not currently needed in Somalia, and people leaving Somalia are not asked for a health book in most of the countries they are going to, and the countries they are going to are not asked for a health book, and the countries that provide them do not provide one that Somalia has provided.

People with this business idea know that people will not get vaccinated, and people have refused to take the Coronavirus vaccine, but the goal is money.
The resulting uproar on Tuesday blocked Aden Adde Airport in Mogadishu, and the Ministry of Finance ordered the suspension of the money. An attempt was made to charge the public $9 for using Aden Adde Airport.
The airport was blocked for two days and then it was refused. The public must reject this in strong language as the goal is to seek illegal money that will end up in the pockets of private individuals.
The police have also joined in the search for money, saying that businesses should issue a letter of no-crime and pay money.
What is being demanded and that the letter of no-crime should be issued is not for people but for businesses that are taxed every year and have a license from the federal government and the Banadir regional administration. This is another money-making scheme that is not based on reason or law.

The Banadir regional administration also says that they want to impose a $50 fine on anyone seen haggling on the street, but the regional leadership does not have a vision for building public toilets to avoid the circumstances that lead to this mistake, they only think about collecting money and searching the pockets of the public.
The people who often engage in this act of haggling on the streets are street children, they cannot afford $50, so the Banadir regional administration should think about building public toilets.
If something is not done urgently about the situation in Mogdishu and whoever is in charge is looking for something to happen, it will lead to the public rising up and completely opposing the Somalia corrupt President Hassan Sheikh’s family.
