Kabul Municipality reported Wednesday that the city's revenues had increased by approximately 33 percent compared to last year, adding that the additional revenues will be spent on road construction and urban improvements.
The municipality's revenues for the current fiscal year is projected to be above AFN2.55 billion ($51 million), said Mayor Mohammad Younus Nawandish.
More than 42 kilometers of roads were asphalted and walkways reconstructed last year, while another 30 kilometers or roads are ready for to be asphalted in the near future, he added.
But Kabul residents have long complained that the municipality is not doing enough to develop the city, especially in tackling the city's notorious traffic and repairing broken roads.
