Premature Election Bill in Mogadishu: A Constitutional Violation The Somali Provisional Constitution establishes detailed federal system, including specific guidelines for the administration of its…

Mogadishu city hosts 3-4 million people and serves as Somalia’s political and economic centre. However, despite its substantial contribution to the country’s revenue, the city remains burdened by an antiquated tax system and a federal structure that does not adequately address its distinct requirements. The people of the city are weighed down by taxes that fail to correspond with their economic circumstances, and to make matters worse, they receive very little in return as there is no free education, no healthcare and no substantial infrastructure development. This situation necessitates the establishment of Banadir State, which would offer Mogadishu the much-needed political representation and accountability.
