[kictanet] Justification for wayleave charges

[robert yawe]

Adam,

This has absolutely nothing to do with road quality, the issue here is that someone cut across a perfectly good road to lay a commercial service and did not make good after they where through.

If this is what will keep being done I fully understand why Dr. Ndemo's directive when he was permanent secretary to the various councils to weave wayleave charges for those companies laying fibre was ignored.

I expect that Safaricom and it's contractor will repair the damaged road soon as the soil they used to patch up a tarmac road will definitely not last very long after which we shall all start throwing stones at the innocent county government and its contractors.

It might also be prudent for KRA to adjust the effective tax paid by Safaricom if most of it will have to be used to repair problems that they have caused, more like the case of the American government and the cigarette manufacturers.

  

Fortunately the school and residents next to where this shoddy work was done took it on themselves to sort sort the issue as it had become a mosquito breeding ground.  

Regards


PS.  If any of you can see a silver lining in this please share it with me.

IMHO this is a responsibility for the newly devolved Nairobi county.  

It's not reasonable to expect the national government to care about this stuff, but it's certainly the case that poor construction on city roads needs to be managed by Kidero et al.
