Jubilant MP Abdullahi Hashi Abib thanks Somali parliament members for defending him against expulsion attempts orchestrated by Speaker Adan Madoobe at the instruction of Villa Somalia. The expulsion attempts came to light after a prolonged battle, during which MP Abib exposed how Villa Somalia, the Minister of Finance, and the Governor of the Central Bank swindled World Bank and USAID development funds for the country.
MP Abib in an official statement wrote, “I extend my deepest appreciation to the honorable and principled Members of Parliament who have stood by me in challenging the flagrant violations of parliamentary procedure committed by the Speaker of the House of the People. It is evident that the Speaker is acting under undue influence from the President, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Planning, the Minister of Education, the State Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Governor of the Central Bank – officials who have engaged in egregious breaches of public trust and fiduciary duty, making them the most corrupt administration in Somalia’s history.”
The MP also scolded 10 MPs from his constituency of Awdal and Gebileh for not representing their constituency and not standing up for justice. He wrote, “10 Members of Parliament from my constituency, rather than standing for justice, have chosen to appease the Speaker of the House and the President – both of whom previously marginalized our community by downgrading our share in the Federal Government’s 4.5 power-sharing system from a Cabinet position A to Cabinet position D. Now, in a clear act of political retaliation, they have moved to vacate my parliamentary seat on politically motivated grounds. This brazen attempt to silence me will not deter my resolve to serve and defend the rights of all Somali citizens.”
As for the details of the deep-rooted corruption he exposed, the MP wrote, “My oversight investigations have uncovered widespread malfeasance and financial misappropriation in virtually every government project, irrespective of the funding source – whether from the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Canada, or Japan. No donor funds have been shielded from systemic embezzlement, mismanagement, and illicit diversion for personal gain. The only significant step toward accountability thus far has been the decision by U.S. President Donald J. Trump to suspend all foreign aid to Somalia, a move that underscores the urgency of comprehensive anti-corruption reforms. I urge other donor nations to follow this precedent and condition any future assistance on strict financial oversight and institutional transparency.”
MP Abib’s investigations are continuing with Speaker Adan Madoobe already facing numerous criminal offenses of premeditated murder and seizure of private land and property from unsuspecting Somali citizens.

In his promise, MP Abib stated, “In the coming days, I will be releasing substantive evidence detailing the misappropriation of public funds by the Speaker, Deputy Speakers, Permanent Secretary, and Whip of the House of the People – officials who have willfully abused their positions and treated legislative funds as their personal treasury. These revelations will enable the Somali people to exercise their sovereign right to demand justice and determine the fate of the 11th Parliament in its remaining term.”
