The expatriates only paid for 10 percent of the road, but that was enough to force the government into action.
This should be one of Casablanca's most important roads, but it ends here in a garden. To drive around to where the road begins again takes 20 minutes. It is crazy.
There was no budget and no interest in the government developing this region. But I looked at all the people who were leaving and decided they could actually be a tremendous asset to us.
It is strange to say it, but I am actually the first mayor of Casablanca. There are so many problems that I almost have a luxury of choosing to solve the biggest issues first.
I do not look at problems like a normal politician, so I come up with strange solutions that seem to work. I was attached to the southern projects, but I thought I could bring some of these ideas to Casablanca.
