## Key points

- Goobjoog News reported on 24 November 2015 that the Kahda district administration commenced work on a road through the district.
- Kahda district commissioner Abdikamil Shukri Mohamed said the road would be 2km long and vital for transport movement.
- The report does not establish what has happened to the road since November 2015.

Goobjoog News reported on 24 November 2015 that the Administration of Kahda had commenced construction work on a road running through the district.

The report identifies the Kahda district commissioner as Abdikamil Shukri Mohamed. According to Goobjoog News, Mohamed said the road would be 2km long and would be vital for the movement of transport in the district.

The same report states that citizens voluntarily reconstructed the road and that the commissioner commended them for it. Mohamed also called on the public to continue the same spirit with developmental projects they commenced in the district.

The Goobjoog News account does not establish what has happened on the road since 24 November 2015. No contract, tender, contractor, consultant, funder or budget is named in the report. The notice does not state a contract value, total project cost, funding source or implementing agency. No start date, target completion date or works scope is given. There is no evidence of completion, abandonment or current condition.

The district commissioner's 2km figure is a stated plan, not a measured length. The report also does not reconcile who carried out the work: it says the administration commenced construction but also describes citizens as voluntarily reconstructing the road.

Goobjoog News further reported that the federal government of Somalia normally encourages the public to take part in common good projects including refurbishment of old government institutions, roads and garbage cleaning. The report does not name a federal programme or budget line to support that general statement.

## Questions

### Who is funding and constructing the project?

No completion date is mentioned in the report.
