Gen. Abdullahi Ahmed Jama is the antithesis of the typical Somali
politician. He is a leader who earned his stripes through performance,
dedication to achieving noble goals and the rare ability to inspire others to do
their best. In seeking the presidency of the Puntland State of Somalia (PSS),
Gen. Jama has set out to achieve a transformational mission of leadership,
including the institution of the following key policies to:
1. Secure the peace internally and to protect the autonomy and territorial
integrity of the Puntland state.
2. Uphold the rule of law across the board without fear or favor.
3. Protect Human Rights, including those of minorities and non-Puntlanders be
they residents or visitors.
4. Institute democratic governance, where people are free to exercise all their
citizenship rights and the state fulfills its historic role: to protect the
citizenry, uphold the rule of law, institute social and economic justice,
including an equitable revenue-sharing system.
5. Institute genuine free enterprise system, while safeguarding consumer
protections.
6. Wage a relentless campaign against corruption, in both the public and the
private sectors, until it is eliminated altogether.
7. Develop and maintain strong labor laws.
8. Develop and maintain effective environmental protection policies.
9. Take bold steps to improve the socio-economic conditions of the citizens and
the residents of the Puntland State.
10. Consult widely with Puntland citizens from all walks of life, as they are
the real stakeholders in all policies and activities to be undertaken by the
state government.
The program, including goals and objectives, for the implementation of the
foregoing mission will be published soon.
