The recently ratified draft of regulations establishes a comprehensive framework governing ICA activities and the counter\u2019s immigration, ensuring transparent and efficient service delivery to both citizens and other clients.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Going beyond border control measures, the regulations address numerous immigration-related challenges and enhance the processing of applications for work permits, citizenship, visas, and residence permits.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWith the implementation of these rules, our border enforcement agents will possess the legitimacy and authority required to effectively counter organised crime, ensure efficient operations, and safeguard our borders,&#8221; said Ahmed Said Mohamed, the ICA Director General. He further highlighted, &#8220;Through this regulation, the ICA aims to cultivate a new environment, facilitating legal and orderly migration while ensuring the security and integrity of Somalia&#8217;s borders.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">An additional objective of the endorsed regulations is to enhance the skills and capacity of ICA personnel through the implementation of standardised procedures and clear instructions.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The new legislation aims to empower ICA staff to carry out their responsibilities with
