Travelling on our roads may be a nightmare as some of the portholes are unbearable. Dear bloggers forget the portholes but look further up above the roads to the greenery surrounding this fertile country.. it is just so beautiful. Thanks to CHOGM that the company working round the clock making sure to see that our long awaited visitors enjoy a beautiful scenery. It must be expensive hiring so many people to dig, plant, and manage all the plants, grass and edge building on the roads especially Entebbe Road and Kampala roads.
As a suggestion I think it would be best to place local Ugandans responsible for their areas especially those in Kampala and living along Entebbe road to do this job. This way the local communities would be active in beautifying,painting, cleaning and clearing their areas as well as taking part in the development of their community. The monies disbursed for this purpose would trickle down to the communities involved and not the company currently doing the job. This way after CHOGM, the communities will continue the process and keep the country in general, beautiful(Does this make sense?).
Of course issues of non uniformity would arise but these could be curbed by standardising the designs, what plants, trees to grow where and how and so on. I really do not think that billions of shillings are really necessary to do all the work, if only the local communities are also put in the plans or decision making. Maybe with the issue of time definitely lots of money will be used to complete the work, of course by one company.
Personally I find it unfair that the locals are left behind and the only participation they are involved in is to ensure that they have IDs ahead of CHOGM. Really???!
