8. Minister Gamal Visits Bondhere District to Discuss the Developments in the District.
The Minister of Planning, Investment and Economic Development H.E Gamal Hassan visited Bondhere of Benadir Region to meet with the District Commissioner of Bondhere, her Deputies and both Police and NISA commanders. The Minister took a tour of the community and visited the MCHs, Schools and the police station. During the meeting, some concerns were raised relating to waterlogged roads following heavy rainfalls, security and developments. Bondhere is in a low-lying area, so it receives the flow of water from its neighbors, that then flood the roads especially opposite the commissioner’s office and its surroundings. The waterlogged roads restrict movement and block access to key government buildings. The combination of narrow, destroyed roads and water from the rainfall is creating a challenging situation in Bondhere. The Minister reaffirmed the Federal Government commitment to the construction and rehabilitation of vital community infrastructure. Bondhere District is one of the 17th districts of Benadir Region, it is one of the oldest districts in Benadir Region and is comprised of 4 sub-districts: Nasib Bundo, Yusuf Alkowneyn, Sinay and Dajirka Dahsoon. Bondhere was settled in 1820 by a diversity of clans and has retained its peaceful inter-clan relations.
