Absolutely true. The better-off in society appropriate the benefits of infrastructure. .
The technological infrastructure exists. People can use their smart devices to work from home. Many people travel to physical offices morning-afternoon as routine. Moreover, the traffic jam is caused primarily by disorder and lack of respect for other motorists. That is a sociological problem. However, the law can mould people, and long-term families must inculcate respect in their children. In addition, we can share means of transport.
Uganda cannot keep throwing infrastructure at the problem of mobility. We cannot follow the path of the West. Technology and human respect call for a better path.
Whether or not infrastructure helps in the achievement of equality is a function of what exists in reality. Ordinarily, the existence of infrastructure irrespective of the perspective of understanding should help in the encouragement and achievement of equality and balance between and among individuals and social groups in both private and public capacities. The reality, going by the African experience and other similar experiences of transitional and technologically developing societies, is largely the manipulation of infrastructural provisions. The manipulation is largely encouraged by corruption and prebendalistic attachments going by the evidence of the African governance framework. We can therefore assume tentatively that the denial of infrastructure or its epileptic provision is an act of inequality. Inequality, again from the perspective of the denial of infrastructure, requires an empirical probe of the factors, forces and processes in which the provision of infrastructure are dependent upon.
