The 164th reminder.... to the PERSON/S CONCERNED

Now, that the rainy season has started, I wonder what the excuse will be given for lack of water in our pipes and taps? For usually it's the non-availability (no rains!), that is given as an excuse by our water officials.

As mentioned in my last 'reminder', the unhygienic conditions prevailing have got worse, due to the rains though they have started a bit late and not as much as usual, thanks to the world's climate changing patterns.

Just in our estate, there is an over-flowing garbage bin left by the Council and which is attracting glue sniffing street 'kids', as well as the usual pests of flies, mosquitoes, etc. And now that the neighbourhood kids are home for the holidays, they, too, of course, are playing around there thanks to lack of available space.

This is mainly thanks to our avaricious Council which has over the years 'allocated' council land to private developers and one gets the impression that 'officialdom' has a great dislike for wide open green spaces! Is this also the reason that a few years ago, our questionable neighbourhood resident Councillor, Mr. Kushe, was responsible for cutting down the one remaining Neem tree, left, to give shade and make the place look nice?

And it's also probably due to this that our water problems have got worse than would have been the case. Water pipes have been connected to the same old previous ones to supply these questionable structures with much needed water. One of these, happen to be none other than the 'honourable' MP for Kisauni, Mr. Joho! See, how these politicians are self serving in the extreme, instead of serving the people whom they are supposed to represent?

When will our the whole town's (not just this neighbourhood), water problems end, if ever?
