Somalia has paid $7.8 million, its full budget contribution dues for the financial year 2024\/25.<\/p>\n
Mogadishu beat the Democratic Republic of Congo, which joined the bloc two years ago and is yet to contribute a cent.<\/p>\n
President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud\u2019s government sent in $7,853,071 last month, just before the EAC budget was presented before the legislative assembly.<\/p>\n
The Somalia contribution therefore saw the budget grow from $103,842,880 in Financial Year 2023\/24 to $112,984,442 in 2024\/25.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe joining of Somalia places additional responsibilities and obligations to the EAC Organs and Institutions,\u201d said MP Kennedy Mukulia, when he presented a report of the Committee General Purposes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhereas the budget of the Community may seem to have increased, it should be noted that this increase is largely attributed to the contribution of $7,853,071 from Somalia.\u201d<\/p>\n
As at June 2024, DRC owed the EAC $14.7 million, Burundi $11.2 million and South Sudan $8.6 million in contributions to the budget.<\/p>\n
Kenya had paid its full contributions. Other EAC partner states have minimal arrears, with Rwanda owing $920,869, Uganda $200,203, and Tanzania, $122,694.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
