Our government listens to the people and responds appropriately to the questions raised by the people. We have held extensive discussions with our residents since early this morning. The discussions were widely held in all sub-cities of our capital, Addis Ababa. Religious leaders, elders, youth and women, the business community, investors and intellectuals have participated. In the past, in various public forums under the title of Guba Basratot's Unification Government, practical responses to questions, complaints and comments from our residents, as well as remaining works, were presented and discussed in detail. Senior leaders and ministers of our city administration led the forums and gave explanations on the questions raised by the public. They also took homework. In the past years of change, the wonderful achievements of various development projects in our city have been recorded because the government and the people were able to carry them out by working together. As usual, it was a fruitful discussion forum where we received valuable input from our residents to further strengthen the many works and results achieved by the government and public cooperation, as well as further joint plans that ensure public participation. Dear residents, on behalf of myself and the city administration, I sincerely thank you for your constructive comments, your high participation, and your valuable time. We will continue to work more closely together. May the Creator bless Ethiopia and its people! Mayor Adane Abebe
