Somalia Defense Ministry Plagued by Corruption
If you love government so much, why don't you move to Somalia?


Now that it has a functioning government, is it ok to ask if you love government so much why don't you move to Somalia?
Increased bribery and misappropriation of funds is causing all sorts of problems in Somalia's defense ministry which has been allocated the largest amount of resources by the federal government.
Top military officials who talked to Shabelle on condition of anonymity said that top government officials were involved in corruption scandals that have halted security in many parts of the country.
Senior government officials were involved in the scandals including the office of the ministry which has been assigned to restore Security in the fragile state.
Government's just another word for there's more left to loot.

You know what they need? More government.
In other news, the sky is blue.
Now the real work of government can begin:
Looting.
How can Somalia have a Defense Ministry if they are a libertarian utopia? I don't get it.
