  The last three months marked yet another low moment for Somalia indirect electoral model in use from 2000-2021.  Perfecting the art of stealing practiced in previous seasons, the federal member states (FMS) have finally managed to give themselves absolute control over the senate and lower house elections. Each of the five regional presidents plus Abdi Hashi and Mahdi Guled, without exception, had nominated their cronies to fill the 54- member senate seats.  As has been witnessed for the few lower house seats that have already been filled, that the five regional presidents and Abdi Hashi and Mahdi Guled for “Somaliland,” will follow the same script for senate nominations is a forgone conclusion.      Who is responsible for this sorry state of electoral affairs? Well, it’s easy to point fingers but, isn’t the Council of Presidential Candidates (CPC), presidents of Puntland and Jubbaland, and the senate speaker who had joined forces to force the fraud-prone indirect election

By Abdullah Dan'azumi Golkos. CEO Salasadiscourse Pol. Consults. Once again Nigerians have found themselves in the unending debate about the removal of subsidy on Petroluem Products. As usual, the debate which is being championed by the advocates  of the removal  comprising mostly of Government officials and economists, and opposed by organised labour supported by the opposition parties, have polarised the society into those for and against.  Each factions stand is determined by their assumed protection and concern for the vulnerable members of the society who are bearing the brunt in the form of diminishing resources for economic development because of diversion to pay for subsidy, or will bear the brunt if the subsidy is withdrawn in the form of costs of services. While there is cause to be sympathetic to the welfare of the vulnerable, it is pertinent to ask whether they are the primary beneficiaries of the subsidy or simply secondary beneficiaries who are being used
