See water from God for herdsmen. Build correct drainage system with dam, you people in government will not do. Instead you will be moving around aimlessly looking to steal land instead of finding solutions.

But Government should also provide waste collection so that people are not tempted to block the drainage.
I lived in UK for a while and what I remember is that it is almost impossible, for your eye not to see dustbin
As you turn your head left and right, dustbin, dustbin, dustbin everywhere.
You can't lie that you didn't see dustbin.
Impossible.

Hey don't call the govt! Do you think America would be what it is today if it's citizens dumped all responsibilities to the govt? The people know the quality of life they wanted and played by the rules in achieving.
