SOMALILAND CUSTOMS REVENUES AND STATE-BUILDING: THE IMPACT OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS’ REVENUE COLLECTION AND SHARING
Author: Academy for Peace and Development
Abstract
Debate about local government revenue collection and sharing has persisted since the 1990s, and intensified in the last couple of years. On 27 June 2022, members of the Somaliland house of representatives submitted a motion to amend the Regions and Districts Self-management Law, No. 23/2019 law. The amendments aim to correct inequalities in revenue sharing. Other MPs and sections of society are against the motion.
