It takes eons to get the most basic utilities and infrastructure implemented and fixed. There are still people in Trinidad and Tobago waiting decades for water through a tap or electricity from a light pole.
That's because we have third world corruption where they take all and leave nothing left but maybe low wages for workers just enough to keep everyone surviving hand to mouth.
