[kictanet] Thika Road Debate

Mon Jul 2 00:51:46 EAT 2012

Interesting you speak of TZ.

Last year I presented at workshop in Dar (thanks to the ISACA Chapter there)
and on our way to the airport, there was a huge downpour! We saw a gradual
rise in water levels, almost submerging our the small vehicle we were riding
in; we were luck that the driver knew some side detours that gradually too
us to higher ground even as we witnessed people perch on the roofs of their
cars. 

In our case, we managed to stay dry with shoes off (placed on the seats) and
our feet perched in higher places, including the dashboard. 

Scary!

All said and done our roads don't have the drainage system at all. We need
to look at our neighbors Tanzania and Rwanda is a good example. Here we
spent 200b and when it rains we need 80b to repair is that not a scandal in
itself or wasteful?  

Kind regards

While on this subject, I am wondering whether the case (at least at the
leadership and management levels) about the high cost of poorly built &
maintained roads. I read (back in time) a world bank study that suggested
that every unit spent on maintaining roads saves between 3 and 4 units of
the same; thus every shilling (in labour + material) invested in maintenance
yields savings of 3~4 shillings in vehicle maintenance, lost time, etc.

Kenya is NOT poor, but wasteful of resources; and perhaps poor at
translating ideas into implementation.

Adios.
