Abstract

This study investigates the link between political stability and socioeconomic development in Mogadishu, Somalia, with an emphasis on political and administrative responsibility. Using John Locke’s Liberalism Theory, the study polled 60 public sector personnel, yielding 52 responses. The findings indicate that political accountability, through openness and reduced corruption, promotes socioeconomic development by boosting public trust. Administrative accountability promotes development by guaranteeing effective resource management and improved service delivery, particularly in healthcare and education. The study emphasizes the relevance of a stable political climate in fostering economic growth and social equality. It suggests improving openness, anti-corruption measures, participatory decision-making, efficient resource management, official training, and building legal and institutional frameworks to promote Mogadishu’s long-term development.
