Look at Serrekunda for instance.
The town is so 'serre' (congested) - like the name implies. Electricity and
water a mess, because evidently, Serrekunda wasn't planned to grow this fast.
This is why NAWEC is being caused to bite what it wasn’t built to chew. No
wonder Generator Number 6 sounds like it’s choking.
No jokes, man! Look at our
streets. We want to expand them so badly, but there's no darn space. When you
go to some neighbourhoods, you wonder what weed the land allocator was on,
because of the many dead-end roads and triangular homes.
It’s perhaps places like
Janjangbureh, Mansakonko, and other former colonial dwellings that you'd see
farsighted town plans. I don’t know - I’m thinking two: we are perhaps so
selfish; we don’t care about posterity, or just too lazy to think, because
thinking is a complex process.
