Horta lets be honest why would a qualified competent cadaan work in the central bank of the shithole that is Somalia? :russ:
Agriculture?

Yes but there is due process to follow advertising for the position.Short listing candidates,Interviewing them.
Then picking the best candidate for the job.
Then lating the parliamentary oversight committe screen him.
So did they follow any procedure?
How do we know this guy is not a paedo? NO criminal record has been taken.
Also what are his finances?Does he have financial stability? Any defaults on his credit history?

Naah so dont compare oranges to mangoes.

Abkoow, no one has been named yet and I haven't seen any reasons detailing why they were named. I will reserve judgement until then.

Who cares if he studied agriculture? I actually find that beneficial. You are talking about the Somali central bank, the President of the World Bank Kim is a medical doctor without any formal or academic training in Finance. So?

Also, you are quite misleading about Nigel Roberts. The guy studied agricultural economics (something we need), but also developmental economics at Oxford. He has also worked at the World Bank for almost 40 years and was World Bank Country Director in many hot spots including Ethiopia. Clearly the man is more qualified than all the people who have held it recently.

At lot of people go into fields they didn't study for in post grad, some even fields that underpay for their expertise and level of education This exposes these guys in this thread who don't understand the dynamics of professional career development. Lot of posters here are Reer baadiyo posting from Somalia in a dusty café. Somalia is an agricultural goldmine. Instead of relaying on pastoralism. We can harness the Jubba and Shabelle rivers. Reer miyi FKD artists can't think like that. Chess not checkers.

The guy has actually worked at the World Bank for almost 40 years and was World Bank Country Director for Ethiopia, Gaza, Australia, etc.

As usual, Abkoow is whining about nothing since he is the perpetual opposition for tribal reasons

1. First it was how come foreigner?

I showed him many countries, developed or developing from the UK to Congo, turn to foreigners in timea of serious stress if they are more qualified.

2. Second it was what qualifications. The guy has been World Bank Country Director to countries ranging from Ethiopia to Australia.

He has more experience and knowledge in managing a Central Bank than anyone in Somalia.

That’s not weird Canada is part of the commonwealth of former British territories and the Queen of England is also Queen of Canada her face is still on some of their bank notes. It’s not weird for a Canadian to have a high position in England and vice versa . Show me other instances where a foreign national is the head of a central bank Canada - England is not a good example

The cheeseman stans on here have no idea what they are talking about, just parroting the same meaningless lines about Canada. They dont realise it is a terrible example for them to use.

The current governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, promised upon accepting the job at the Bank of England to become a British citizen and acquire UK nationality. And he has now taken an oath to the Queen and became a British citizen.

Now the question is, will the new agriculture grad cadaan NGO worker become a citizen of Somalia?

I thought Somaliland was its own country? Why so concerned about Xamar? Worry about the growing civil war between your political parties. You fools are bout to have a civil war and you are here pressed about Somalia's monetary policies. Waddani is in Nairobi, meeting with donors and IC. We'll see what happens
