    Kudos to Madam Minister Browne and public works department…..keep it up, but make sure you build these lovely roads with adequate drainage in mind for when torrential rain falls otherwise you will incur additional repair or rebuilding costs.

      Without proper road drainage, the road will deteriorate quickly.
      Congratulations to the staff and engineers at Publicly Works! Keep up the good work; however, remember to put in the roads drain/gutter!
