In the interest of Somaliland’s public weal, the nascent administrations of Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo’s initial investment has been in the welfare and wellbeing of Somaliland’s public employees, an exigency to alleviate the 
worsening plight of an already impoverished public employees, who had not received their meager salaries for several months. There are wide array of revitalization plans being implemented by the president that include civil service reforms, introduction of meritocracy, and more crucially the compensation and rewarding of public employees accordingly. At the center of the president’s robust revitalization plans are concrete measures that go beyond the symptoms and seek to un-mantle the salient corruption that has preserved public workers in the austere condition left behind by the previous administration. Somaliland stands to benefit enormously from the president’s investment as employees with an elevated morale and improved quality of life will be more tentative to executing their government duties while also inadvertently helping to avert the pervasive corruption in the public sector. The president’s hands on approach of being visible and accessible will enable a more sufficient and efficient government which is paramount and bodes well to attracting investment while at the same time eradicating all the residual effects of a venal previous administration, an administration in which its public sector was fraught with corruption and had relinquished its responsibilities beyond maintaining the security of the country, ended up being nothing more than a proxy for bribe generating.
