The feature about motor-rickshaws best illustrates how reduction in costs is valued much by Africans, most of whom have low earnings. The fact that the government can sell the rick-shaws to the people and allow them to pay in installments is the best way to creat employment opprtunities while accomodating their low financial base.

This story is similar to that of Okada in Nigeria, and it provides African governments with an opportunity to tackle some of their long standing issues such as transport problems in a more affordable and engaging way.
