Editor in chief of the newspaper says that the recent rainfalls in the capital have unveiled the extent of manipulation by some companies that implemented services works in the capital, such as sewage or paving streets. This problem the capital experience every year. Many problems encounter the mayor of the capital and we cannot hold him responsible for what has happened in the past. But we have to call the attention of the mayor to the necessity of working for avoiding these problems by planning and implementation. As a beginning we ask the mayor to assign the concerned authorities in his office to pinpoint the areas where water gathers and the streets that have problems of water drainage to work for avoiding them during the next year. As we know that higher authorities have directed to present reports about some implemented projects that face problems such as cave-ins in some streets or breaking of pavement in some others. The other point is that the mayor has to put into force the black list containing the companies that cheated in implementation of projects and depriving them of carrying out any future projects.
