Al-Marsad Newspaper: Writer Khaled Al-Sulaiman commented on the statement of the company responsible for managing the East Gate project in Riyadh, following some neighborhoods of the project were flooded following heavy rains hit the capital.
Blaming the responsibility on the Riyadh Municipality
“Al-Suleiman” said in an article in “Okaz” newspaper entitled (Drowning in Ink Water): I was not very convinced by the statement of the real estate company executing the rainwater-drenched project in Riyadh, as he tried to throw the ball of responsibility at the Riyadh Municipality stadium when he indicated that the project was implemented according to plans and drainage networks. And infrastructure approved by the secretariat!
He added: In fact, no one is innocent of what happened, as all parties associated with the project are partners in responsibility, starting from the moment the off-plan sale of the project is approved until the keys are handed over to the residents, and the damage to the damaged housing units will not be repaired by the construction data or the suction tanks. They see their new homes being damaged to know the scale of the tragedy and the enormity of the problem!
Efficiency in preventing errors
He continued: The real estate company has made a commitment to return the value of any damaged unit and to agree to a request to terminate its contract in accordance with the procedures of the off-plan sales committee.
And he added: The “Wafi” committee itself said in a statement published by “Okaz” that it is carefully following all the projects licensed by it to ensure their safety, and if it was really following up, this incident would not have occurred and dozens of housing units would not have flooded its streets in this modern housing project, and efficiency It is in preventing mistakes and not dealing with their damage!
He concluded by saying: If some commented that the old neighborhoods would drown during the rainy seasons due to their falling into the streams of the valleys and their lack of correct basic planning, then what is the excuse for new neighborhoods that are supposed to be planned and licensed by those who have realized the mistakes and learned from the lessons?!
