To Jounieh Municipality
Jounieh, my town.
The town where i was born, where i was raised, where i got my education, where i spent and am still spending the most beautiful days of my life.
The town i adore strolling its streets, where even the oxygen i take, i feel it different.
Unfortunately, my town is not the same anymore lately, have been trying to really understand what is wrong but could not get the answer so i decided to write this blog post and address the people i elected few years to take care of my town properly and they did not.
It is a real pity seeing a wonderful city like Jounieh being tortured this way, we live the 4 seasons, we have the most beautiful beach on the Mediterranean that is not accessible by anyone unless you pay the entrance fee, we were supposed to have nice and wide streets where people can easily walk and enjoy the beautiful scenes of the town.
It hurts me a lot to say that there is nothing to be proud about Jounieh anymore. No one cares while the people who are responsible say they do. Believe me, these are not the actions of someone who really cares.
How do you care if no one ever promotes the town? How do you care and the Municipality council is divided into many parts? How do you care if there no clear rules? How do you care if people are seeing their town being manipulated for personal reasons? And i can go on and on endlessly …
Your slogans were so shiny few years back when you wanted my vote and i trusted you because of the program you showed me and suddenly you were no longer together, some of you left, some of you stayed to hurt others and some of you are still there because of the power you have and all of you, you don’t really deserve my vote. Your were supposed to be friends and colleagues and make our town a great one, but sadly you got lost by the power you were given.
Oh yes! i am sure you have lots of explanations and justifications to give me but where is the real thing we wanted, where are those dreams we built in our minds, they evaporated, PERIOD.
I wanted to say this many times before and i am sure that this blog post wont even reach your eyes to know that there is someone out there who is not happy about you managing his town, but it is ok, i said what i wanted to say. Who knows, maybe one day you will read this and feel guilty for what you did.
The main reason for writing this post, is the below picture i took while passing in Jounieh for 2 consecutive days last weekend.
Just tell me how you permit yourself keeping garbage on the sidewalk? If you had some tiny respect for yourself, you would all resign and go home, you shameless people!
