MOGADISHU (Somaliguardian) – Somali MPs on Saturday voted to hike their month-to-month salaries to $5,000, triggering public outrage as authorities fail to supply humanitarian help to hundreds of thousands of individuals stalked by starvation and illness in flood-hit areas.
The transfer got here after weeks-long debate over the approval of the federal government fiscal price range for 2024, which pressured authorities to simply accept a pay enhance for MPs.
Hours earlier than the vote, the nation’s catastrophe administration company, mentioned the federal government had no funds to move meals and different live-saving consignments to cities worst hit by floods.
