Explanation:
According to the code of professional integrity and ethical conduct, GARP members should endeavor to be mindful of cultural differences regarding ethical behavior and customs, and to avoid any actions that are, or may have the appearance of being unethical according to local customs. If there appears to be a conflict or overlap of standards, the GARP member should always seek to apply the higher standard. Even though obtaining material non-public information is legal in Somalia, GARP's Code of Conduct requires members to apply the higher standard of ethical conduct, which prohibits the use of insider information for trading purposes. Therefore, Jack Oboyo's practice violates the Code related to professional integrity and ethical conduct.
