New mayor says will transform Hargeysa city infrastructure

[Siciid85]

Let's hope it is not all talk but actually does something about it. On another news I am hearing the government is trying to implement a road tax system on all
cars that use Hargeysa district roads and that money will be used to build the infrastructure. However knowing there is a lot of corrupt officials in the ranks they
might steal it.

The Newly Elected Mayor of Hargeisa Hon Eng. Yusuf Warsame Said has of today officially assumed office after his predecessor Hon Eng. Hussein Mohamed Jicir handed him the Key to the city of Hargeisa in a ceremony which was presided by the Interior Minister Hon Mohamed Nur Arrale(Duur)and was held at the civil services commission headquarters.

The Outgoing Mayor of Hargeisa Hon Eng. Hussein Mohamed Jicir during the handing over ceremony touched on the many accomplishments he and his team had managed to achieve in the past ten years in office.

“Me and my team had in the past five years had made every effort in our disposal to uplift the face of the capital city not to mention the construction of more than 58 new tarmac roads in almost every ward of the city of Hargeisa”,said the outgoing Mayor Eng. Hussein Mohamed Jicir.

The New Mayor of Hargeisa Hon Eng. Yusuf Warsame Said thanked the outgoing Mayor and his team for their hard work and impeccable service that they had rendered the people and the city of Hargeisa in the past 10 years.

“I am ready for the hard work ahead of me and i know it is not an easy task which lies ahead of us, but me and my team shall introduce massive changes to the crumbling infrastructure of our urban centre and I urge the good people of Hargeisa to work with us because with their cooperation, I believe we can achieve much”, Said Eng. Warsame.

The Minister of Interior Hon Mohamed Nur Arrale (Dur) during the ceremony said, much is expected from the incoming mayor and his team by the people of Hargeisa and his ministry are ready to work hand in hand with the newly elected Mayor and his team.

There's already a road tax on cars in Hargeisa; I wonder where that money goes

[Somalistan]

Only time will tell.But his construction company designs and builds the best buildings in SL..

bariis Why is the Gov saying they are carrying out something that already existed then lol? War ileen tuugo ma xishooto.



Somalistan What is needed is not only proper road paving but also road drainage holes. Hargeysa rains a lot, if the roads are to be protected
from rain damage extensive road drainage holes are needed like this below. This seems to be the Achilles heel of many African cities,
they lack drainage holes in their roads.

good luck to him, its one of the hardest jobs going around

Drainage to where? Unless some sort of sewage infrastructure is built it will literally be like sweeping the problem under the carpet. But I commend the new mayor on his proactiveness.

[hydrogen]

I respect their attempt.

[Siciid85]

Abdi It is better than letting the paved roads be damaged by the rain.


Another cheaper option that the mayor should consider for certain parts of Hargeysa is cobblestone pavement.Cheap,doesn't get damaged easily and lasts longer.

[hydrogen]

125M budget just won't cut it.

[MujahidAishah]

not only roads they need to build pavements .. nearly broke my ankle tripping on rocks

[Siciid85]

Aishah You're right Hargeysa also needs proper roadside pavement so people won't walk in the middle of the road like most cities. That sh!t is so common in African
cities.

A couple of clay bricks and other larger bricks as a roadside pavement will do. Not hard is it, it is just some of our people are lazy.
