Clerics in Garowe have decided to propose a plan to tackle security and corruption issues in Puntland. To setup a private police team and a council to deal with growing insecurity, especially within the corrupt politicians' circles.
Check out this part from the meeting:
I like the direction of this.One of the Islamic preachers who addressed the conference said the community has "given up" on the Puntland government and its public role.
The meeting's speakers called for an immediate halt to the continued minting of false Somali Shillings, an illegal practice that is reported to take place in Puntland towns.
Sultan Said Mohamed Garase, a Garowe clan elder, spoke at length about local issues and condemned pirate attacks along Somalia's coast.
It is not clear what the government of Puntland plans to do if the local community is allowed to establish a private security force.
But critics said the Puntland administration has failed to secure the capital city and other major towns, giving locals little choice but to take matters into their own hands.
