Solving the problems of housing
Government cannot provide houses for everybody. However, government can help more people to build their own houses. Government can also help to improve the quality of houses. There are several ways of doing these two things. They include the following:
1 Import duties on building materials should be reduced, to make them cheaper.
2 People should be encouraged to use local materials, which may not cost as much as imported materials.
3 Government should provide land for people where there are already roads, gutters, water and electricity. This also lowers the cost of building houses by individuals.
4 The Town Planning Authority should draw good plans and enforce them. This way, people will build good houses set out in good order, with playing and recreation areas.
5People can form building groups to help one another to own houses. For example, cooperative societies can give loans to their members for building purposes.
6 Some of the existing houses are not fit for people to live in. Some have no good windows, while others are built along rivers. Also, some other houses have weak foundations. Such houses should be pulled down and rebuilt with adequate facilities to fortify their foundations.
