I have just come back from two trips to Eastern Highlands. I paid tolls both times, both ways. Now, Ive seen a newspaper that says, $15 million has been collected. Toll booths built. Roads paved. The only pavement I have seen laid is the rumble strips at the approach to these toll booths. No potholes have been filled, edges maintained. I havent seen a new sign, or even new road markings painted.
It strikes me the whole scheme is job creation. New employees, or old employees are now able to sit outside. There are new places for the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) to sit and do nothing (which they do so well).
And I see new things (who sold them those?). E.g. caravans, road cones, porta loos, solar panels.
Can someone show me, (not tell me), the point of this exercise? Not verbage aims, objectives, uses, plans but actual things? What has been done aside from collecting $15 million? Kubatana
