The Bureau of Land Development and Management has today held a lottery to hand over the land due to individuals who have been living in Dire Dawa for many years for the development of the government.
During the handover ceremony, the head of the administration’s land development and management bureau, GebeyehuTilahun, said that the draw held today was due to the complaints brought from the families that the compensation they got for the land they were displaced from was not sufficient and for that reason they resettled on the land; because of this the investor who won the bid was not able to start working the investment works.
He said 96 hectares of land has been prepared and will be for house residential and business centers for 950 households.He also said that we have already made prepayments to complete the infrastructure in the area in a short period of time.
The handover individuals expressed satisfaction with the resolution of the long-standing problem of good governance and called for the site to be completed as soon as possible as there is no infrastructure.They also said that there is a flood in the area of land given to them and the administration should address it.
