Waste 15 million riyals to build a road in a country inhabited by a citizen!

Mecca (echo):

In a controversial incident, a citizen revealed a waste of public money after he embarked on the implementation of a road concession of land in the holy capital at the cost of 15 million riyals, and a single house of citizen would benefit.

Immediately, the Makkah Al-Mukarramah City Council interacted with the citizen’s remark which led to this waste, as the road site and the works carried out on it, such as breaking up and splitting mountains, were inspected, and it was found that its cost actually reached 15 million riyals, according to the “Makkah” newspaper.

A member of the city council of the holy capital, Fahd Al-Roqi, denounced the incident, stressing that the necessary measures will be taken.

Fahd Al-Roqi explained that the city council is not opposed to connecting a road to a citizen, but it would have been better to compensate for it with a land concession in another scheme and to spend the road costs in the poorest neighborhoods with a large population, such as the Green Plan, in which more than 30 citizens are calling for road works and other projects.
