and what about the money they can secure with lobbying? Do you think anyone lobbies without the hope of a greater return??

Its a investment, not money given away for free.

His also terrible at math. Lets say 500 families with an average of 5 people per family, that makes a total of 2500 persons, 20,000 divided by those persons comes out to be 8 dollars per person. So what he is saying is 8 dollars a month, divide that by a further 30 days, thats 26 cents per day a person is living off of. Not even those a dollar a day commercials of sponsoring kids goes that low.

Actually it could feed far more people then 500. You see linear thoughts produce linear plans. Take money > buy food > feed people. Short term.

Take 20,000 and invest in growing crops like shabab > Feed thousands use some of the seeds to grow more crops it is an accumulative process brother.

You are promoting wasting Aid money to beg for more money, in order to get funds which do not reach the population in the end. The population will starve to death before they see a cent from the Thiefs.

NVM

I think it is a good move. The money would have been wasted any way by the UN and other NGOs, so it is good that it is used for Somalia's insterest.

One of the agreement clauses caught my eye & is interesting. I quote from a sentence on the 4th:
Any reports prepared by Park Strategies for TFG shall be considered confidential and not for
distribution to any third party.

To the OP, you sir a classified dbag moron and the same goes to the punk who posted this in a website. Snitches xoolo, mind your damned business.

ever heard of the saying,it takes money to get money?
that 20,000 per month is well spent money for it could help in soliciting tens if not hundreds of millions of funds from the U.S government.

the funny thing is though,one of the items say that TFG couldnt pay parks strategy from a foreign aid money,but from the TFG money.this U.S lobby firm is dreaming walle.as if the TFG spends any money of its own.other than the 8 millions that come from moqdisho port that can barely cover the salaries of the local TFG employees.

It would have been better if they recruited and set-up a Somali-American firm to do the lobbying, after all you have to put a Somali face on it.

Lobbying is what made Jews in this country such a power-house, not sure exactly what these numskulls will lobby for in this case, but if done wisely - it be an effective tool at shaping public view and establishing international relations. Somehow I feel they're just going to p!ss this away like they do with everything else or squander it, these imbeciles can't run a chicken farm let alone a country, we'll see.

They live in filthy muds and filthy stinking slums and streets---and pay 20k to loby? really?I dont think so. I mean, it feels good saying it but its NOT practical.

Masha'allah wise move Mudane Farmaajo

Some Somalis would never understand this move


Noloow Somalia

Ironman has a point, it would have good to have at least one somali face on the team but it could be there isn´t anyone qualified enoough. Maybe Park Strategies will hire one from DMV for photo op sessions.

To Samadoon Waaxid dabaal iyo xoolo ayaad tahay for posting such a sensitive contract in a forum. What an imbecile.
