Chapter 202
The new port of Burkina Faso is now open, and the port is in a state of chaos.
Republic of Burkina Faso.
Southwest State,
Tumak City.
…
As the capital of the Southwest State.
Although Tumak has lost the title of “Burkina’s largest port”, the port’s throughput has not only not decreased, but has increased several times.
Because Tumak is-
Burkina Faso’s second largest port!
The import and export of materials in the southern states of Burkina Faso cannot be said to be through Accra, but must choose Tumak, which is nearby.
Lower transportation costs and better economic benefits.
Therefore, the permanent population of Tumak has also increased from less than 1 million in 2966 to more than 2 million now.
The most important thing is that it is still increasing!
On average, nearly 100,000 rural residents or residents from other cities flock to Tumaq in various ways every month.
In their own words –
“The bigger the city, the more opportunities, the more jobs, and the higher the salary!”
Everyone is yearning for big cities!
…
The surge in permanent population has brought various problems to Tumaq.
Even public security has declined to a considerable extent. People call the police every day, and the police officers of the Municipal Police Department are so busy that they can be said to be overwhelmed.
If it weren’t for the help of the State Police Department and the transfer of police forces from various cities and counties in the state, Tumaq’s police system might have collapsed!
These are actually not bad.
As long as you overcome it, it can be solved quickly.
But!
The housing shortage caused by the surge in permanent population cannot be solved quickly by overcoming it.
It takes time to build new buildings!
Therefore, if you wander around the streets of Tumaq,
From time to time, you can see hundreds or even thousands of tents or temporary buildings made of various things on some open spaces, uh… “temporary houses”?
In fact, it might be more appropriate to say doghouses!
And this is this year, the situation has been greatly improved.
If it was last year, the scene would probably be even more shocking!
The reason for this situation is that-
“I don’t care what method you use, as long as it is not illegal, you must solve these people’s housing problems as soon as possible! If you don’t solve it seriously, don’t blame me for holding you accountable!”
The Burkinabian central government put pressure on the Southwest State Government.
“I tell you, I don’t care what method you use, if you can’t solve their housing problems, I will deal with you before the central government deals with me!”
The Southwest State Government put pressure on the Tumaq Municipal Government.
The Tumaq City Government had no other options. They held a meeting and discussed for a long time, and finally came up with this solution that was not a solution –
Distribute tents to those people without homes, and then the Tumaq City Government will centrally accommodate and manage them to ensure their safety and hygiene.
“Just tell me if they have a place to live!”
The Tumaq City Government spread its hands and directly gave up.
The Burkinabian central government couldn’t even do anything about them for a while, because this was indeed a solution!
However, the Tumaq City Government didn’t really give up, this was just a temporary solution they came up with.
The real solution is –
Build a large number of dormitories near each factory!
“It’s best to have only four people in one dormitory? Damn it, I don’t care what method you use, at least you have to put ten people in it!
If we don’t quickly eliminate these ‘tent communities’, the central government will eliminate me, and you won’t be able to escape then.
Let them move in first, just ten people, and get through it a little. When the new dormitory building is built, we will let them move to the new dormitory building!”
However, even if ten people were put in one dormitory, the “tent community” could not be eliminated.
Because there are so many people pouring into Tumak, the government’s construction speed can’t keep up with the population growth rate!
This is not a problem faced by Tumak alone, almost all cities face the same problem.
Finally,
The pressure was passed from the bottom to the central government of Burkina, and the pressure of the central government of Burkina was naturally borne by Sankara.
Sankara didn’t have any good solution.
Because construction is going on everywhere now, the current scale of the Burkina government does not have enough energy to take care of all aspects of things.
After a few days of meetingsAfter discussion.
Sankara ultimately decided to allow private engineering teams to contract for government projects.
Although Sankara and the central government have formulated various very strict policies, people are responsible for implementing these policies.
In the end, various problems often arise with these policies.
Of course, it is undeniable that the vast majority of people in Burkina are law-abiding and have never thought of taking advantage of loopholes.
But there is always a small amount of mouse droppings that spoils the whole pot of porridge.
These people seek profits through various unfair methods, which makes it impossible for those who abide by the law to live a good life.
Eventually bad money drives out good money.
The country and its people were deceived and complained endlessly.
And, this is even the best case scenario.
The most serious thing is that some of those who originally obeyed the law could not resist the temptation and became the new rat turds.
What goes around comes around.
As a result, there was no porridge left in the pot, it was all fucking rat shit!
…
Night falls.
The city of Tumac did not fall into darkness as the sun went down, but instead opened up the city’s nightlife.
In a high-end hotel in the city center.
A group of businessmen in suits and ties were surrounding several officials in cadre uniforms with fawning faces.
Everyone had smiles on their faces.
One of the pot-bellied officials said with a very serious look: “We can just find a place and deal with it for a few casualties! By the way, there is no drinking tonight. Let’s just drink some tea. We have to go to work tomorrow!”
Then,
They appeared in a very luxuriously decorated private room.
The table was filled with delicacies from all over the world, and there was obviously no room to put them there, and the waiters were constantly coming in and out to add more dishes!
One of the businessmen who was helping to serve the dishes said: “I just ordered a few home-cooked dishes and asked the leaders not to blame.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. We didn’t come out to eat well. As long as we can eat enough, it doesn’t matter if it’s simple.”
The official who initially said he would just deal with a few people waved his hands repeatedly, pretending not to care.
But the smile on his face betrayed his true thoughts. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the delicacies on the table.
The words just fell.
Several waiters walked into the box, each holding a bottle of high-end wine that looked expensive.
There are red wines from the West and white wines from the East.
Seeing these liquors, several officials frowned instantly.
“Don’t worry, leaders, the alcohol content of these wines is not high. It’s no different from drinking tea. It won’t delay work tomorrow, so… just drink some?”
“Then…just drink some!”
