Speaker of the Parliament Meets Civil Society Representatives in Mogadishu

Mogadishu, (SONNA) — The Speaker of the House of the People of the Federal Parliament of Somalia, H.E. Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur, held a consultative meeting with civil society representatives to discuss the state of the nation, parliamentary work, public services, national unity and defence.

The meeting focused on strengthening cooperation between Parliament and civil society and ensuring that citizens’ views contribute to legislative and oversight processes.

Speaker Abdulkadir highlighted Gole Kaab, a programme designed to connect citizens with the House of the People, enabling the public to raise concerns and contribute ideas to parliamentary work.

He stressed the importance of civil society playing an informed and meaningful role in the legislative process by reviewing proposed laws, assessing their potential impact, consulting affected communities and presenting evidence-based recommendations.

The Speaker said Gole Kaab, alongside the House’s ongoing digital transformation, is creating greater opportunities for public participation while strengthening Parliament’s accountability to the Somali people.
