In her speech at the time of handing over the aid, the mayor of the city, Adane Abebe, mentioned that Borena is known for its kindness and generosity, but it has been affected by drought for a long time.

Therefore, since it is not the responsibility of the state government to help the people in the zone, we have made the support to say to your people that we are on your side, he said.

The mayor thanked everyone who donated.

The Deputy Governor of Oromia Region, Mr. Awelu Abdi, who received the support, expressed his gratitude for the support.

He pointed out that the drought was caused by the lack of rain in 10 zones of the region for 3 consecutive years.

He urged those who try to use drought as a political tool to refrain from their actions.

He pointed out that the state government will continue to support the zone and called on the entire society to continue to support the zone.
