The purpose of this merger is to ensure that the cities can fully leverage their development opportunities and create development hubs to accelerate progress in surrounding cities and districts. Additionally, certain cities have been designated as responsible to the Regional Government to receive focused attention and play their expected roles in development.


The executive power of cities has also been improved to enhance the delivery of timely, efficient services and promote inclusive development. The following upgrades have been made:

Furthermore, in response to demands for development, security, and good governance, a new district has been established in East Borana district to create efficient and effective administrative structures and provide accessible services. The newly reorganized Eastern Borana Zone, the 21st Zone of Oromia Regional Government, includes various districts from Borana, Guji, and Bale regions.


During a visit to Awwaday City, residents expressed concerns over the lack of infrastructure development, stable security, and economic growth in the city. The government emphasized its ten-year prosperity plan to uplift people from poverty to prosperity and called for support from all levels of society.


Various projects worth Birr 2.1 billion were launched in East Hararghe, including the construction of a cobbled road project and the Jima Market Center in Awwaday.


The delegation also inaugurated the construction of the Jima Market Center, a project valued at Birr 430 million, and highlighted the importance of security and rule of law in the community.


Maya City was established, comprising Haramaya City, Awwaday City, and Addeelle City, organized into 3 city districts and 12 villages. Maya town was designated as the capital city of East Hararghe, with a focus on well-planned development, economic growth, and industrialization.


The message conveyed was that love is the ultimate symbol of heroism, and the Oromo people will triumph through love.
