Municipality executing over 18 mln. birr dev’t works

Harar - The Harrar Municipality is reportedly executing various development works with over 18 million birr.

Municipality Manager Arif Mohammed told WIC that the projects are being implemented in kebeles where social and economic problems are not addressed.

The development activities launched this month include health, roads, environmental protection, among others, he added.

The construction of condominiums comprising 1,100 residential units is one of the major undertakings underway to alleviate housing problem, Arif stated.

Installation of sewerage tubes in the Jegol Sub-city is in the meantime being speeded up, according to the manager.

Arif said 99 shops would also be built and given to youth organized in micro and small-scale businesses to minimize the deep-rooted unemployment in the town.

Upon going fully operational by the coming June, the development works would benefit 100,000 residents, he concluded.

According to a news report filed by ENA, a modern hotel, which is constructed in Harar town at a cost of seven million birr, was inaugurated yesterday.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony, owner of the hotel Dr. Abduljewad Adus said the new hotel, which is called ‘Heritage Plaza’, comprises various restaurants, conference rooms, and 26 bedrooms.

He said the hotel has already created jobs to more than 50 people.

Inaugurating the hotel, Chief of the Harari State Administration Murad Abdulhadi said the hotel would contribute a lot toward the development of the tourism industry in the state.
