Togwajaale new mayor hit the nail on the head !!!!
It was Wednesday,
8th of April 2015 , when a new
Mayor was
nominated to replace
the longest serving Mayor of the Dry-deck and
Business
Centre Town of Somaliland
called To g-wajale.
During the handing over ceremony which has taken place
on
15th of April, the late May or Mr Hashi Mohamud Abdi
has
broken the silence and gave a
very interesting speech :- " I am so delighted today to
hand over the Tog-wajale
governance and the service of the pe ople to one of their diaspora youths who came
here to work". " therefore, please don't le ave your
country and kill your selves in
the ocean specially the young generatio n". He co ncluded
his speech.
Then the new Mayor Mr. Shiine Ali Muse gave
an emotional and
very sharp speech.
He pro mised to regenerate and bring back Tog-wajale old
traditional, non-tribal and
nepotism way of life.
He mentioned that in olden days when a person from Tog-wajale
was asked who are you? I am Tog-wajalist was his/her
sole answer. Not from that tribe or
that and that." Hence, any one who believes in or
dreaming that I am for certain people
is truly speaking beating around the bush". " My office
is 24/7 open
to any one who is
committed and ready to wor k with me the development of
the public services, and Tog-wajale
will be
the common den ominator of all our goals and
achievements". He told the audience.
That is a positive impression of his first speech which
he is taking care and caution the
non-curable Somali
disease ( TRIBALISM ).
This is the sign of good leadership if he stays on that
course. It has been said " Action is louder than words "
and all in all, I hope the new Mayor
will keep his promise and make the difference.
In addition to that, Tog-Wajale Foundation is sending to
you Salaams and Congratulati ons and praying the Almighty
Allah to ease the great responsibility on your
shoulders.
