Dwait and Ghead.
i enjoy reading both of your input... the sad thing is only 3 of us interested in business ..so i dont want to lose both of u pls keep commenting and discussion this is... i feel this is the only exit ticket we have from poverty ..
1. how to prevent 40 days work stoppage..
by making the industrial park an island by itself ... the worker should live with in industrial park hence they will not be risking their life to come to work.. if their accommodation is with in industrial park
2. video security system.
the industrial park is high profile so we have to provide high security with armed guard.. this mean no body will die if they live with in industrial park and get armed protection ... there should be no joke.. and zero tolerance for stupidity ....
3. this one very controversial but very effective if it is implemented
each Industrial park must have requirement of local language ... for example to work in Hawassa industrial park u must have prefect ሲዳምኛ ቋንቋ መናገር አለብህ ፨አለብሽ.... JIMMA INDUSTRIAL ZONE, u must speak Afarn oromia and Mekelle Industrial Park speak must Afan Golden... but this will be optional based on skill worker shortage ...በአጭሩ የሐገሩን ቋንቋ የሚናገሩ ቅድሚያ ያገኛሉ
this information must be told million time to residence ኢንዱስትሪው ዞኑ የናንተው ነው። ሲዳምኛ ኦሮምኛ ካላውቃቹሁ አትስሩበትም ይህ ማለት ደግሞ ኢንዱስትሪውን ካቃጠላቹሁት የናንተን እንጅራ ነው ያቃጠላችሁት። ፈደራል መንግስት ምንም አይነት ዶጎማ አያረግም መልሶ ለመስራት ። እያንዳንድሽ ላይ ታክስ ይጣላል የፈደራል የከስረውን ገንዘብ ለመመልስ። ተብለው ሕዝብ በተስበስበበት በድንብ መነገር አለበት። ኢንዱስትሪው የናንተ ነው። ሲዳሞኛ ማወቅ ይጠበቅብሀል በእንዱስትሪው ውስጥ ለመስራት ከዚህ በላይ ምን ይመጣል ኢንዱስትሪው የሲዳሞ ለመሆኑ። there is always exception and because of shortage of skill worker in this case the worker must take class to learn ሲዳሞኛ ... learning the language must be part of the training
4. using industrial zone u can start other industry for example if the industry need cotton the Sidama area farmer produce cotton or any input the industry need they should be produced local this will create more job
5. i dont support the idea of all industry should be build 50km near Djibouti border
if he is talking about Dire Dawa then it is 250km way from Djibouti port , now if he want to go to border town then he have to go to Dewele with is 87km or 100km away from the port ..which is good but the problem is do this place have coffee and cotton and many other product that the industrial park need. do this place have good climate doesnt need air conditioning to cool the industrial park additional cost ... is there any workers that willing to go and live in that area..
if cotton go to Dewele from oromia is that not the same thing ..even it cost more to transport raw material then semi finished goods ...hence i will not cancel out Dewele as industrial zone..
here is my reason .. for example if we have cow skin in oromia if u process it and make shoe in Oromia we r exposing our self to risk ..of separatist movement and riot and uprising .. if something happened the oromia will take the whole industry..but if we r smart we process the cow skin in oromia and we ship the semi finished good to Dewele and we make shoe in Dewele .. now if the oromia want to break away even separated from Ethiopia we will have half industry in Dewele.. this means the shoe production will not stop .. we just buy the cow skin from oromia in dollar and finished our shoe.. the oromo must sale it to us because we had the shoe factory then dont otherwise they cant eat the cow skin..this means interdependence of economy..
get it if Tigray produce oil seed dont open edible oil processioning in Tigray .. u open somewhere else so that no body have monopoly of economy .. what i am saying any body can open their own but as fed. government and share company u will be idiot to build everything in one spot..
6. building all industrial zone in Addis Ababa Djibouti rail way line i will not support .. why should i sale my coffee to at lower price and live in poverty if i can process the coffee my self and exported my self ... so Dwait is totally wrong thinking this old mentality all development should go to city will not cut it .. if skill workers doesnt want to live in small village then it is job market t the price will go higher if need be skill worker must be imported but regional will not pass this opportunity to grow for the city ... even assuming only the city have the skill, how about the regional city they should also produced their own skill workers what will stop them all u need is two years training and another two years in job training they will become expert at it...
7. share company.. i feel share company is reward for those believer in this project.. for example look this forum it look like only 3 of us interested in this project so why should the other idiot rewarded if they r not believer or risk taker.. this industrial park rise because if we believe in it and buy stock .. then when this industrial zone give our hard earn fruit the other idiot unbeliever come and cry loud why they r not benefited from this industrial park.. for example if u believed on apple company and if u invested early on then today u will ripe your hard earn profit .. because of your and million of investor like u who trusted on apple company and invested on it that make million so they deserve it..
8 so if Ethiopian refused to invest in this industrial park then if they become poor they only themselves to blame
there is a say in investor community
when Japanese economy booming i was not sure they will make it so i did not invested in it so i lost
but when Chinese economy boom i jump on it because opportunity doesn't come twice but it come so i did not want to miss it and i make it
now sure all Ethiopian would be investors miss the Japanese economy miracle and Chinese economy miracle... tell me where u could have a chance to invest only 10,000 dollar and make it million in just ten years there is no other economy but Ethiopia represent this opportunity and i said dont miss it.. even if u make 100,000 dollar in just ten years that is good retirement money even in America or in Ethiopia ... for sure many Ethiopia did not put aside retirement money this investment would be God sent..
9. i already say it before Dr. Abiy said their are no investors that occupied the industrialist zone that means their are many warehouse empty .. so how hard this can be finding investors and make them rent the whorehouse this can be done with private agent ... the industrial zone must have agent who sale the unoccupied whorehouse ...and Dr. Abiy said he subsidized 100 million dollar or birr for industrial park so why not give this money for those agent who make the sale ... any one who manged to brining 100 million dollar investment get 1% which is 1 million dollar 33 million birr that is gooooooooooood money if u ask me...
10 next time
