I was in West lands last week and could not help notice that the place has become dirtier and disorganised. Taking a walk round the centre, I realised that there were no dustbins but so many signs reading,"usimwage takataka hapa. By order from city clerk". Take a look at many of city council maintained roads, big pot holes, uncovered manholes and unattended bus parks that are muddy. Most of benches and sitting racks were sold off long ago as scrap metal. Most of the traffic lights don't work. Where dustbins are provided, they are overrunning with trash. It is an organisation famed for collecting revenue for services not delivered. Take a look at their website, they only remembered it after the certification. A recent survey by PriceWaterhouse Coopers showed that over 90% of their staff is incompetent. Imagine!!! Their officers on the ground are very rude and are only interested in running after petty crime with so much vigour!!!
Taking a tour to the houses they manage, you will notice that they have not been refurbished for long to an extent that the tenants have to repair the houses themselves. Grass has overgrown in many of these places making the place a health hazard. They always come to their own defence when buildings collapse yet they approved their plans. Too much for that. We (city dwellers) are amazed that with all this they still get an ISO Certification. Funny that incompetence is also rewarded.
