A World Bank Funded Project of communication rooms for Somalia’s Upper House has been launched on Tuesday.
The Project was jointly launched by Senate Speaker, Abdi Hashi and Somalia’s Minister for Post and Telecommunications, Abdi Ashur Hassan.
Speaking at the ceremony of the launching, Hashi said communication rooms would help the Upper House’s communication in coordination with the assemblies of the federal states and other federal institutions.
The speaker has commended the ministry for post and Telecommunications assigned to implement the project for their commitment to support the Senate House.
For his side, Hassan said his ministry has expedited the process of building the communication rooms to make sure public institutions have access to modern conferencing facilities.
“The communication rooms have multiplier effects. They improve communication and coordination; improve security of officials; save cost of travel and reduce pollution, among other benefits,” said the minister. “I hope they will support our growing institutions.” said Hassan.
He thanked the World Bank for financing this important project, which would build the capacity of institutions both at state and federal levels.
The Project financed by the World Bank through the ICT Support Project has constructed 37 communication rooms installed at key five institutions for each of Somaliland, Puntland, GalMudug, HirShabelle, SouthWest and JubbaLand, while the rest were built for Benadir and federal institutions.
