Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs

As the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, I am pleased to address the Somali people and our partners in the justice sector. The Ministry remains steadfast in its commitment to strengthening the rule of law, ensuring access to justice, and finalizing the Provisional Constitution—all of which are fundamental to Somalia’s stability and development. Guided by the Justice Sector Strategy, we have undertaken key reforms to enhance judicial efficiency, transparency, and accountability. These reforms are essential in building a modern, inclusive, and independent justice system that serves every Somali citizen. The Constitutional Review Process remains a national priority, aimed at delivering a Provisional Constitution that reflects the aspirations of the Somali people. This process is critical to fostering unity, reinforcing democratic governance, and establishing a legal framework that supports long-term peace and prosperity. We recognize that these transformative efforts require collaboration. The Ministry continues to work closely with federal and state institutions, the judiciary, civil society, and international partners to ensure justice is delivered effectively and equitably. As we move forward, we remain committed to overcoming challenges and implementing policies that safeguard justice for all. I extend my gratitude to our dedicated team at the Ministry and to all stakeholders who support our vision for a strong, transparent, and accessible justice system in Somalia
