Complaints are often heard at different times, such as: "The telecom utility destroys the infrastructure it built; the road authority removes the water and sewer lines it installed."

An agency had been established to coordinate the work of these utilities as they expanded their infrastructure.

Later, the task of coordinating the utilities was given to the Urban Development and Infrastructure Ministry. So, what change has occurred?

It is frequently stated that there is a lack of cooperation among the utilities expanding their infrastructure.

Many people complain, saying, "The telecom utility destroys the infrastructure it built; the road administration removes the water and sewer lines it installed."

They also question why there is no coordination between the utilities.

The complaint is also known to the utilities. The fact that they have been found giving statements at different times saying, "We have agreed to work in coordination," also shows this.

In practice, however, what is heard from the public is that not much has changed.

A so-called coordinated development agency had also been established to take on the responsibility of coordinating their work to be done in an integrated manner.

However, in 2014, this organization was dissolved, and the task of coordinating the utilities was given to the Urban Development and Infrastructure Ministry.

The Ministry office has since established a department led by a chief executive officer and has been carrying out the work.

It also has the added responsibility of verifying whether the utilities are executing infrastructure expansion projects in a coordinated manner or not, and reporting to the House of People's Representatives and the Council of Ministers.

So, we asked what improvements have been made since the work was assigned to the Ministry office.

The Ministry's Public Relations and Communication Executive told us that since the work began, the Ministry has been working to ensure that the infrastructure-expanding utilities plan and execute projects jointly.

The executive stated that the public's complaint about the lack of cooperation among the infrastructure-expanding utilities has now decreased, citing the situation in Addis Ababa as evidence.

The chief executive told us that it is now rare to hear one utility suing another for damaging the infrastructure it built.

They also said that this is also the reality in areas outside of Addis Ababa.

Mr. Ethiopia, who also stated that the lack of cooperation among the utilities has continued to cause significant wastage of resources, said that this has also decreased after the coordination task was transferred to the Ministry office.

We have also heard that the reports the Ministry office presents to the House of People's Representatives regarding its work include opinions concerning the coordination of these utilities.

Mr. Ethiopia stated that as the process is being monitored, additional corrective measures will be taken.

We asked Ethiopia Decha, the Public Relations and Communication Executive of the Urban Development and Infrastructure Ministry, about the activities carried out so far during his tenure.

However, two years ago, it was announced that an organization had been established to prevent this very problem.

It was said that the organization was given the responsibility of coordinating the infrastructure projects being built.

It was also stated that it would verify whether the utilities are executing infrastructure expansion in a coordinated manner or not, and report to the House of People's Representatives, the Council of Ministers, and other offices.

We asked Ethiopia Decha, the Public Relations and Communication Executive of the Urban Development and Infrastructure Ministry, about the activities carried out so far during his tenure.
