Somali Minister for Justice, Hassan Hussein Hajji is expected to appear before the members of the Upper House on Monday.
Hajji who will brief the Senate on the government’s fight against graft, will also submit the proposed Anti-corruption bill.
The Bill which calls for the formation of the Anti-corruption commission that will be tasked to oversee and protect public funds, was approved by members of the Lower House in November last year.
The ministry for Justice has been struggling to get the endorsement of the bill by both the lower and upper house before President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo signs it into law.
Since Somalia adopted federalism in 2004, nepotism, favoritism, bribery, public fund and aid embezzlement has been a commonplace across all sectors of the government.
Last year, Prime Minister, Hassan Ali-Khaire vowed to mobilize his government to tackle corruption.
Addressing the Parliament, PM Kheire vowed to make the fight against misconduct a non-negotiable principle in his administration.
The Transparency International (TI) corruption perception index has this year ranked Somalia the worst country among the 180 countries in the report
