Bad
roads are part of our every day life. You can be living in an very
nice mansion, but the moment you come out of the house you walk on
untied road to your office or your work place. Unless maybe you use a
car for your self.
The
only places you find a third class or second class roads are the
towns and cities. There, the roads have been tiled. This allows free
vehicular movements, which speeds production and productivity. If the
high percentage of roads were all in good shape, then we could see
effective development that yields results.
Imagine
roads that leads to most tourist attraction centers in the country
are all in very deplorable state. It make it impossible for tourist
to move up and down these places, thereby minimizing the monies that
could have come from tourism.
For
those roads which have have already been tiled, you could one day see
people from no where adding poor chippings to it. It in-turn brigs
uncomfortable to pedestrians walking on the road and drivers alike.
If the old road was there, it could have been enough.
For
some, when it rains people cannot go to their farms. More - over cars
and lorries can also not go and bring ready foodstuffs from the
farms. All you need to do is to wait for some days before cars can go
there. Those cars that tries to force their way in are stuck on the
road for days and weeks until a heavy truck pulls them back.
These
foodstuffs get spoiled, living farmers with nothing, but crying and
sadness. When these happens school fees of the wards of the farmers
are at stake.
Not
forgetting, women who are in labor and lives in towns and villages
with bad roads. They suffer and they are delayed when going to their
respective hospital. This account for high rise in maternal
mortality. Although there will be expensive advertisement of our
various television and radio camping for the reduction in these
mortality, but the shun away from the fact that our roads leading to
towns and villages needs to attend to.
Further
more professional like teachers, nurses, doctors, headmaster,
security officers and others, this hinders them from giving their
best to their clients. They may be delayed or even stop from going to
work because of bad roads that have being washed away by erosion and
making it difficult for them to go to work, these people should not
be blamed.
Not
forgetting, the numerous accidents on these roads. The most fear ably
and dangerous thing is pot holes. Most driver tries to avoid these
pot holes and in the effect, got themselves in accident. As these are
going on, you could see and hear, expensive road safety campaigns
going on in the media. Instead of repairing these roads they will
push the blame on over speeding and alcohol.
On
the other hand too, if these roads were in good condition then things
would have being running in accurate and effective manner. Not
withstanding the fact that, it would have accerelate development and
foreign exchange earning from travelers an tourist who are in the
position of discovering newly found places. As the saying goes travel
and see.
Everybody
needs to play his or her own side roles. For example, if you see a
bad road, that is an accident prone, then you draw the right
authorities in charge and make them aware so they attend and repair
it fast, so as to not bring problems.
Lastly,
authorities should also act fast when the see such things. They
should again make roads which are strong and everlasting. Those that
deserve the price they tell us to have been used on it.
