Erigavo, (HargeisaPress) —Erigavo state hospital closes as residents have expressed concern over corruption and mismanagement.

They have pointed an accusatory finger on Shifat, local organization that runs the daily day operations of the hospital. They have further disclosed that Shifat has some sort of connection with the presidential mansion of Somaliland. Intellectuals, traditional elders and concerned Erigavo citizens have blamed the organization for receiving funds of upto 500, 000 dollars from Somaliland Development Fund (SDF) so as to rejuvenate the hospital.

The residents have spoken with the same voice accusing the government’s failure to avert the the situation faced with the health system in Erigavo. Residents have said that the hospital is in dire situation and is on the verge of closure unless the government has to do something about the peril.

An accusatory finger is pointed towards Shifat chairperson, Hon. Muse who has marriage links with the incumbent president. The government and the health ministry must undertake urgent action to investigate the grievances from Erigavo residents claiming that the only state run hospital is on the brink of closure due to widespread mismanagement and corruption practices according to residents.
