The Diredawa Administration Charter Proclamation

The Diredawa city has been an issue of dispute between the Somalia and Oromia regions. The government of Ethiopia however deem it necessary to accelerate development in the area until a lasting solution is obtained. The proclamation thus confers self-government on the people of Diredawa, legally determines the organisational structure and operations of the city, as well as powers and duties of the city administration. This is to ensure the city is governed democratically, and good growth and development are facilitated.
