Kirkuk to build 5000 residential units



Kirkuk governor Najmadeen Karim decided Wednesday to build 5000 residential units in Kirkuk for the city’s poor.

There are an increasing number of renters while housing shortcomings is one of the prominent crises in Kirkuk and other Iraqi cities beside bad security situations.

The governor stated today in a meeting with Kirkuk investment committee and a number of the city’s investor that a plan has been made by the committee includes building 5000 residential units in the city that will be sold to the poor people at a reasonable price.

Karim made sure that the city’s administration will not prioritize any investors or any firms, saying that there will be a transparent tendering process.

Falah Bazzaz head of the committee said that a portion of land in the northern city has been allocated to the project as a bid to address the housing problems.

There are a great number of people who live in the governmental buildings and cannot afford to buy new houses due to poverty. Those people will be prioritized to be settled in the new houses, Karim said.

Karim said on June 6 that they will build 670 houses on the petrodollar budget.
