It is the responsibility of the government to provide down of the rural amenities for the people they are leading not the responsibility of an individual or a private body to do so if you must know so if you think people should not remind the government their duties then you are far from the truth, yes as an individual you can get a borehole to get access to clean water but what does the government do with the tax payers money if they can not rise up and give their people good water, electricity and create good roads what are they doing? There are things we can do for ourselves I understand that we shouldn't expect the government to do everything for us but if you don't remind them don't you know that they will keep stealing money and not remember their responsibility.
Unfortunately, African countries are still suffering from this poor leadership where portable water is still very much of a luxury to us. It is annoying when politicians still make promises with digging boleholes for people, promising our people with renovation of primary schools, promising people with grading of untarred roads and so on. It's really pathetic to know how rich the economy of some of these countries are but continously ridiculed by its leaders because of selfish interest and lack of empathy for the people.
The other day I was listening to a podcast program of a lawyer in Nigeria that was appointed by the late president to become the chairman of the special presidential investigation panel for the recovery of public properties In Nigeria. You need to listen to that conversation and you will be baffled by the kind of revelations revealed by him on how top government officials proudly and happily frustrate the efforts of such panels set to investigate them.
