By David Y. Worry, Freetown.
If drivers can book each day to Drivers Union, book to implicitly bribe police officers manning their route for NO good cause; undergo expensive repairs and maintenance on their vehicles; pay some pittance to boys filling potholes; why should they shy away from or resist paying a toll tax when the roads have been expanded to make their movement faster and easier, their vehicles more durable, the country more attractive; more casual and permanent employment to fellow citizens; direct taxes to government; technological intuition to country men et al?
Have you ever imagined that without the expansion of the Wellington-Waterloo-Masiaka highway at this critical time the most populous part of Freetown would have become a hard reach area with complete traffic congestion in a year’s time?
Just feel the traffic on Sundays in that part of the city and imagine what it could have become in a year’s time.
You will then agree with me that it’s worth paying a toll tax.
Be patriotic!
Pay the toll tax!
