Hargeisa Regional Court sentences people including a court clerk for bribery charges

On 22^nd September 2016, Hargeisa Regional Court sentenced a court clerk to four years of imprisonment for bribery charges.

The presiding judge pronounced the judgment with emphasize that the courts will not tolerate attempts of bribery.

The court sentenced the court clerk in abstentia to four years of imprisonment. Three other people were sentenced from two years to one year and six months of imprisonment for solicitation and paying bribery, respectively.

According to the charges, the clerk collected four thousand US dollars from two people who were party in a civil suit at the court. He promised to pay the money to a judge in order to rule on their favour. He gave 870 USD to a middleman and has taken the rest.

According to the records, the men who paid the bribery complained to the court. Apparently, they did not realize that they were incriminating themselves in an involvement of a criminal activity. The prosecution filled a criminal case and summoned the two men as witnesses. They testified before the court the payment of four thousand US dollars to court clerk in order to bribe a judge. The clerk was not at the court. According to the judgment, he fled to Mogadishu to scape justice. Legally, they have a right to appeal against the conviction to the higher court.

The court found two men guilty of paying bribery whereas the clerk was convicted for receiving bribery. The fourth man was found guilty for pretending to have influence with a public officer.

The chairman of Hargeisa Regional Court who also presided over the case, said that this is the first time a court in Somaliland convicts court official for bribery.

The public welcomed this move and hoped to send a strong message. Corruption is one of the deadly criminal activities that undermine the development and justice in the underdeveloped world.

The Chief Justice, Adam Haji-Ali Ahmed, promised fighting corruption in the judiciary and repeatedly asked the people to report if any court official demands bribery. Adam Haji-Ali Ahmed, former director of Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies of University of Hargeisa, and chairman of Somaliland Non-state Actors Forum (SONSAF), came to office mid last year.

Dood afeedkii ay Somalia ka hor jeedisay Maxkamadda Caalamiga ah ee Caddaaladda

Salaasaddii shalay ahayd waxa Somalia ka hor akhriday Maxkamadda Caalamiga ah ee Caddaaladda dood afeed jawaab celin u ah dood afeed Kenya Isniintii ka hor jeedisay Maxkamadda. Taas oo ku saabsanayd dacwad is-hortaag ah oo Kenya ka gudbisay arji dacwad furasho oo Somalia ka furatay Maxkamadda Caalamiga ah ee Caddaaladda

Somalia waxaay doodeeda ku bilawday hadal guud oo ay ku guud martay in inkasta oo Somalia dhibaato wayni haysato, hadana inay ka soo kabanayaan oo u socdaan dhinaca horumarka. Waxaay uga mahad celiyeen Kenya iyo cid kasta oo caawimo u gaysatay.

Somalia waxaay ku dooday in sababta ay Kenya u keentay is-hortaaggu uu yahay inay cabsi ka qabto oo ay ogtahay in laga gar helayo hadii nuxurka dacwadda la galo. Waxaay sheegtay in qareenada Kenya doonayaan inay ku riixaan Somalia wado hadallo aan dhamaad lahayn cid ka garnaqaysaana aanay jirin si ay ugu keenaan in Somalia ay tanaasul u samayso Kenya.

Somalia waxaay sheegtay inanay ku soo degdegin maxkamadda ee ay isku dayday inay xal ugu hesho qaab wada hadal ah, balse in laga quus gooyay habkaas kadib markii Kenya ay diiday inay ka soo qaybgasho wareegii sadexaad ee wada hadalka. Iska daa inaanu ku heshiino xadayne ee waxaanu ku heshiin waynay habka loo xadaynayo, ayay tidhi Somalia.

Somalia waxaay ku dooday inaan is-afgaradkii 2009kii dhexmaray Somalia iyo Kenya aanu ahayn mid jideeynaya in wado kale lagu xalliyo khilaafka.

Somalia waxaay sharaxday in is-afagardku aanu ahayn heshiis loogu dan lahaa in lagu xalliyo khilaafka ka dhexeeya labada dhinac ee ku saabsan xadka bada.

Qareenada Somalia waxaay ku doodeen in duruuftii lagu galay is-afgaradku ay muujinayso inaan dhinacyadu marna ugu talo gelin in is-afgaradku uu noqdo hab lagu xalliyo khilaafka.

 Waxaay Somalia sheegtay inaan is-afgardku (MoU) ahayn mid iska hortaagaya dhinacyada in dacwadooda lagu qaado Maxkamadda.

Dood afeedkii Kenya maanta ka horjeedisay Maxkamadda Caalamiga ah ee Caddaaladda

Maanta waxa bilaabantay dood afeed ay Jamhuuriyadda Kenya ka hor akhriday Maxkamadda Caalamiga ah ee Caddaaladda. Dood afeedkan waxaay ku saabsanayd dacwad is-hortaag ah oo Kenya ka gudbisay arji dacwad furasho oo Somalia ka furatay Maxkamadda Caalamiga ah ee Caddaaladda. Taas oo ku saabsanayd xadka badda u dhaxaysa labada dal.

Dooda Kenya waxaay ku qotontay in is-afgaradka (MoE) dhexmaray Kenya iyo Somalia uu keenayo in muranka labada dal aan lagaga garniqi karin Maxkamadan.

 Kenya waxaay ku nuux nuuxsatay doorka ay ka qaadatay naba dhisidda Somalia iyo magan gelyada ay siisay qaxoontiga Somalia. Waxaay sheegtay in ciidamo nabadda ilaaliya ay u dirtay Somalia oo ay ku hawlan tahay sidii ay Somalia nabad u heli lahayd. Sidaasdarteed, waxaay ku dooday in eedda Somalia ee ah in Kenya ay ka faa’iidaysanayso xaaladda Somalia ay tahay arin qaldan oo ixtiraam xumo ku ah dadka iyo dawladda Kenya ee waxa badan u huray taageeradda Somalia.

 Hordhacaas ka dib, Kenya waxaay soo gudbisay doodeeda sharci oo ay u kala saartay dhawr qaybood. Qayb waxaay si guud ugu soo bandhigtay is-hortaageeda. Qaybna waxaay kaga hadashay sharcinadada is-afagardka (MoE) oo ay ku nuux nuuxsatay inuu yahay qoraal sharci oo leh raad sharci. Waxayna ku dooday in Somalia ay iska indho tirayso sharcinimada is-afgaradka iyo in Somalia ay kala hadashay oo ay mawqifyo iska soo horjeeda ka qaadatay. Waxaay qareenada u doodayay Kenya awoodda saareen inay tixraac sharci ugu helaan in is-afgaradkaasi yahay mid qabanaya Somalia islamarkaana ka reebay khilafka labada dhinac in Maxkamadani qaado. Waxaay sidoo kale u eegeen is-afagardka xeerarka caalamiga ah.

Qayb kale waxaay ku doodeen qareenada Kenya inaan laga quusan in maaro loogu helo khilaafka haba wada hadal ah. Kenya waxaay sheegtay inaan labada dhinac yeelan wada hadal micne leh oo u dhigma in laga quus gooyo. Waxaayna sheegtay in la yeeshay dhawar shir farsamo oo aan marna hoos loogu daadegin iyo in muranada caynkan oo kale ah sanado badan ay socoto wada hadalkeedu.

Guntii, dood afeedkan bilawga ah ee Kenya wuxuu awoodda saarayay in is-afgaradkii dhexmaray 2009 Somalia iyo Kenya uu yahay mid sharci ah oo sababaya inaan Maxkamadda Caalamiga ah ee Caddaaladdu aanay awood u lahayn inay qaado dacwadan ee ay jiraan habab kale oo uu sheegay is-afgaradku iyaga oo ku sharaxay doodooda habkaas,

 Maalinta berri ah (Salaasadda) ayaa Somalia doodeeda ka hor jeedin doonta Maxkamadda. Doodani waxaay socon doontaa ilaa jimcaha.

Halkan ka eeg faalo ku saabsan nooca ay tahay dacwadan labada dal u dhexeeysaa.

Xog ku Saabsan Dacwadda Badda ee ka dhaxaysa Somalia iyo Kenya

Dawladda Somalia waxaay 28kii August 2014 u gudbisay Maxkamadda Caalamiga ah ee Caddaaladda dacwad ka dhan ah Kenya. Nuxurka dacwadda Somalia waxaay ku qotontay xadka badeed ee aag ay labada dal ba sheeganayaan lahaanshihiisa.

 Somalia waxaay ku dooday in labada dal ay ku muransan yihiin xadku halkuu maro islamarkaana ay fashilmeen wada hadaladii diblomaasiyadeed ee labada dal dhex maray si loogu maaro helo khilaafka.

Somalia markaas waxaay Maxkamadda ka codstay inay dejiso xadka badeed ee u dhexeeya labada dal.

Dawladda Kenya waxaay 7dii October 2015 Maxkamadda u soo gudbisay is-hortaag ku qotoma awoodda ay Maxkamaddu u leedahay qaadista dacwadda iyo aqbalidda arjiga dacwadeed ee Somalia.

Kenya waxaay is-hortaageeda ku sallaysay qoraal is-afgarad ah (MoU) oo Kenya iyo Somalia kala saxeexdeen 7dii April 2009. Iyada oo ku dooday in qoraalkaasi keenayo in Somalia iyo Kenya aanay Maxkamad isla gellin ee arinkooda ku xalishaan sifo ka baxsan Maxkamadda.

Sidaasdarted, Maxkamaddu waxaay hakisay ka garniqidda nuxurka dacwadda. Waxaayna u soo jeedisay Somalia inay ka jawaabto is-hortaagga.

Somalia waxaay u soo gudbisay Maxkamadda jawaab-celinta is-hortaagga. Kadib waxaay Maxkamaddu go’aamisay inay dhegaysato 19ka ilaa 23ka September 2016 is-hortaagga ay Kenya soo gudbisay iyo jawaab-celinta Somalia.

Sidaasawgeed, waxa hada horyaal Maxkamadda waa is-hortagga ay soo gudbisay Kenya. Maxkamaddu waxaay go’aamin doontaa laba arimood midkood: (1) in Kenya ay ku saxan tahay is-hortaagga oo la joojiyo dacwadda; iyo (2) in Kenya ay ku qaldan tahay is-hortaagga oo ay tahay in la gudo galo dhegaysiga nuxurka dacwadda. Markaas kadib bay gudo gelaysaa Maxkamaddu inay dhegaysto dacwadii ay soo gudbisay Somalia ee ku saabsanayd xadaynta.

Qof kastaa ciidka ma faraxsana

Ciidku waa u maalin farxadeed dadka Muslimka ah. Waa maalin midnimo oo ay ku muujiyaaan waxay wadaagaan. Somaliland si fiican baa loogu xusaa oo dadku u soo dhoweeyaan.

Haseyeeshee, cid kastaa ma faraxsana. Dadka qaar baa dagaalo iyo colaado haystaan. Dalka Suuriya dad lagu qiyaasay boqol qof ayaa ku dhintay maanta, sida warbaahintu sheegtay. Qaybo badan oo dunida Muslimiiinta ka mid ah ayaa colaado ka jiraan. Qaar kale cadaadis xoog wayn baa haysta. Kuwa kale gaajo iyo cuduro ayaa ku habsaday.

Somaliland gudeheeda waxa ku nool dad badan oo dan yar ah, kuwo xanuunno la il daran iyo kuwo xabsiyo ku jira.

Qof kasta oo maanta si caafimaad qabta ugu dabaal degaya ciidda, waxa fiican inuu isna cid kale ka farxiyo oo waxtar u gaysto. Waxtarka aad geysanaysaa ha noqoto mid ay ka faa’iidaan dadka baahida wayn u qaba.

Marka la iska war hayo ee kuwa wax haystaa ay gacan qabtaaan kuwa kale, wada jirka ayaa sii xoogaysanaya. Nabaduna way sii jiri kartaa.
