Today is Thanksgiving!!! Praise be to the creator God who started and finished us! To successfully complete the development of Ontoto-Kebena river and river bank in such a beautiful manner; To the leaders, workers, contractors, consultants, day laborers, professionals, local residents who worked with us to leave a bright mark for the future generations, our great respect and thanks go to you. When we constantly do such new mega projects and present them as a gift to the next generation, it is our city's budget, not loans or grants. Therefore, on behalf of our city's residents, our administration and myself, I sincerely thank all of you for the development that we have achieved through the cooperation of our city's taxpayers, revenue collectors and financial institutions. While congratulating the residents of our city, I invite you to come and enjoy this beautiful and attractive recreation and health care facility of Kebena River and riverside development, which was mainly made for you. I entrust you to take care of the development so that it can be passed on to future generations and take advantage of it. May the Creator bless Ethiopia and its people! Mayor Adane Abebe
