QUESTION 4
[25 Marks]
The proliferation of private cars on Namibia roads (especially in the capital city) has led to
severe pollution problems and may contribute to global warming. Some people think the
government should spend money developing public transportation systems to alleviate this
problem. Others believe it is better to spend money on other equally important social projects
to help alleviate poverty in the country. In the past few years, the government has struggled to
invest in developmental projects due to a struggling economy resulting from the Covid-19
pandemic and other factors.
Suggest, and use examples to explain any five (5) road charging techniques that the
government can use to help alleviate the mushrooming of private cars and use funds
collected to finance road infrastructure projects.
