    "content": "We know very well that even if people are employed by the Government, the backbone of our people lies in businesses. I have dealt with people in many occasions who are very serious business investors in Somalia. At times they are even unable to deal with the issues that befall them. I know of somebody who had a very big contract of fumigation of insects in Somalia. However, the issue of insecurity and the people he was going to deal with in terms of diplomatic relations there was a major problem. Therefore, having someone who has confirmed that he is willing to go physical and reside in Mogadishu will be a very good start. I am very sure our businessmen, who have shown interest in the past, are happy. I know of many people from my location who have travelled as far as Mandera and they are just waiting for this good opportunity to open whereby these two countries can trade seriously. We need to go deeper into Somalia and do business there. One of the areas that most people have talked about is that of the experience from the military vis-a-vis the qualification of the Major General. I am sure that although we have had another General in that position, I would like to see the difference between the General that we had in the past and this particular one. I would like to compare their capabilities. This is because their qualifications are the same. We would like to see whether the qualifications of this Major General will match what is in the papers. Most times when nominees get these jobs, they go back to slumber and forget the promises The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
