Sunday, 12 Sep 2026 {HMC} The leadership of Somalia’s House of the People has announced the suspension of a $100 monthly contribution previously deducted from each Member of Parliament and deposited into the MPs’ welfare fund.
Speaker of the House of the People, Abduqaadir Mohamed Noor Jama, said the contribution was introduced at a time when Somalia was facing serious security and economic challenges. The fund was intended to provide support to lawmakers and the families of deceased MPs.
According to the Speaker, the circumstances that led to the establishment of the contribution have now changed, as government institutions and the country’s state-building process continue to strengthen.
“We have reached the most appropriate time to stop collecting this contribution,” the Speaker said.
