Moving to SAJA: Cost-Benefit

District government of Yem decided to move the seat from Fofa to Saja. I believe the move is very important in terms of connecting the people of Yem to other parts of the country. Especially Saja is right on the road to Addis Ababa and is strategic area to trade and transportation.
On the other hand, I am so much concerned about the people down near to Fofa. They may be far from government services. They are farmers and need assistance from agricultural workers (DAs) and health services from the local government. They need to be supplied with these services no matter what.
Some concerned people are seeing the possibility of having own college, university, and everything one city can hold in Saja as it is convenient in terms of infrastructural facilities.
In order to preserve the language, culture, music, and unique nature of Yem, connecting it with other cities might help a lot. This move is appreciated. We really want to see these in SAJA:
  • college that promote our culture and language
  • referral hospital
  • city hall
  • roads that connect other parts of the district such as Deri
