STORY:

The Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General (SRSG) for

Somalia, Nicholas Kay, has made his first visit to Garowe, Puntland since he assumed

his duties as head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) on

June 3, 2013.

He met with Puntland President Abdirahman Mohamed Farole and other

government officials at the State House where they had discussion. SRSG Kay saidthat Puntland has played a key role to end the transitional period for Somalia and

that he looked forward to its continued positive contribution support in the post-

transition, peace-building phase.

In his meeting with President, SRSG Kay explained UNSOM’s mandate which

supports the building of national capacity, peacebuilding, good governance, security

sector reform, rule of law, human rights, providing “good offices” for mediation and

political reconciliation and coordination of international assistance.

“Part of the UNSOM mandate is to assist with peace building and to assist theSomalis with the creation of a Federal State,” said SRSG Kay, “And I have come today

to hear the advice and the wisdom from president Farole on those subjects and

we’ve had an excellent discussion and I am sure that together the United Nations

and all parties within Somalia will work closely to make a better future for everyone.” 

While in Garowe, the head of the UN in Somalia took the opportunity to handover

the Attorney General and Judicial Council offices both built as part of the UNDP

‘Access to Justice’ Project. 

“It’s a great pleasure to see some of our work, to build better justice,” said SRSG Kay,“building better governance is part of our mission and having good buildings and

computers and printers is an important part of it.” 

SRSG Kay will meet with the Speaker of Puntland Parliament, members of civil

society and the Transitional Puntland Electoral Commission. With local council

elections in Puntland scheduled for 15 July, he expressed hope that the local

elections would be conducted peacefully. UNSOM will have a permanent office in

Garowe that will engage the administration and civil society on all matters relating to

the UN mandate.
