The rumor that the buildings of the medina are going to be painted gray is false

Addis Ababa: Addis Ababa City Administration Communication Bureau Head, Yonas Zewde, has said that the rumors circulating on social media that all buildings in Addis Ababa will be painted gray are untrue.

He said building standards and external advertising standards are being prepared to make Addis Ababa as beautiful and convenient as its name implies.

 However, with this in mind, he said that the rumors circulating on social media that Addis Ababa was going to paint gray were incorrect.

He said the city has not yet made any decision on the matter.

He recalled that the Prime Minister, Dr. Abiyim, had previously said, "Our city looks like a barren land."

He said a standard has been set up to address the issue, but no decision has been made.

Recalling a recent discussion with investors on the issue, the official said:

He said the city should not think that only one type of paint is needed for painting.

In this regard, the residents should be aware that inputs will be used in our ongoing discussions and public participation forums, the iPad reported.

"The idea that the color of the city should be in line with the norm is something that we can all agree on," he said.
