[kictanet] Thika Road Debate

[Per-erick Mulamba]

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
Per-Erick

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.
