Parliament Debates Formation of Non-Ministerial Departments Nationally

Somalia is facing a significant constitutional and administrative challenge.

On Saturday, the federal parliament debated the discrepancy between the permitted number of national-level non-ministerial agencies (nine) and the actual number (fifteen), which indicates a need for reform to align with the constitutional provisions.

The ongoing debate in Parliament suggests that efforts are being made to address this issue, potentially by reducing the number of agencies or amending the constitution to accommodate the existing structure.

This process will likely involve considerations of the roles, efficiencies, and necessities of these agencies to ensure effective governance and compliance with the constitution.
