It is not a
good idea for the Tanzania Road Agency (TANROADS) to think of removing
sign posts erected along the road without prior notice.
It was enough for them to announce
their intentions to the people, in order to allow the owners times to
shift those signs elsewhere instead of cris-crossing them with red
paint thus destroying the signs.
Those sign posts have cost us plenty
of money, in terms of designing, erecting and paying taxes for them.
Most of our guests have of late been
canceling their visits after seeing our sign board X-ed out concluding
that the centre is no longer there. |

If it was
wrong for the sign posts to be there or if wrongly placed, a polite
request to either remove or shift them would have been the appropriate
step.
Some of thE sign posts were designed
abroad and cost a lot of money.
Can’t TANROADS ever think of issuing
proper directives on how to fix roadside sign posts instead of rudely
crossing out existing ones. |

If those sign
posts had been fixed there without following proper regulations, then
it is alright to X them. TANROADS have no written contract with those
people who had erected those signs along the roads thus they can’t
shoulder any responsibility.
Everybody knows that, the road
reservation distance should always be respected but this law is broken
on corruption grounds.
If the municipal, or district
councils have been charging fees for the wrongly placed sign posts or
billboards then it is either a case of corruption or theft but both
are crimes. |
