ROAD REPAIR

ROAD REPAIR

Tempers will rise again and many quarrels will come out as traffic will again be crowded not only because there are already too many vehicles but because there are so many roads under repair. Like here in our town, roads are still relatively good but giant mechanical drillers came and destroyed the roads.

They could have been improved easily by use of asphalt overlay but instead they decided to pulverize the cemented road in preparation for new cementing and they have chosen this time of the year when many people will be coming home for the All Saints Day celebration. I cannot find any logical explanation except plain political stupidity.

Some roads are already in desperate condition but they do nothing to make them better and now they are breaking better roads supposedly for repair. They say they are repairing the National Roads and the funds are from the National treasury. Smaller roads should be attended locally and never mind if local officials are as dilapidated as their road counterparts.

This kind of problem is all over the country and like the roads that they are repairing there must be a way to repair the mentality of the local officials together with all their bosses up there for the sake of our only country. There must be a Committee or a Team or whatever they want to call it to look at this matter.

As I said in the beginning tempers are rising and heaven knows how simple misunderstanding can sometime result to bigger havocs. Commuters are stressed resulting to many different kinds of ailments afterwards. All these things could have been prevented had people in authority made more logical decisions.

Looking at it positively I am just hoping that said road repairs shall be finished before Christmas to prevent more hot tempers. If roads are good visitors won’t be discourage from coming to our town. Even Tourists shall discover and enjoy our sceneries, our culture and traditions that we could all be proud off. After all our town have so many good things to offer.

You're proposed committee or a team is still of no use if it has the same innate political stupidity.To hell with them. Projects just like the roads in your place for instance, sprout like mushrooms rapidly come election time.Why? Simply for monetary considerations...
