An interesting video about how Western culture differs from the culture
of (East) Africa. The African concept of time is very different than
ours, causing very different attitudes with respect to things like
maintenance of infrastructure:

As the presenter points out, the Western powers that had colonized
Africa left a great deal of good infrastructure behind when they left
but the new African countries failed to maintain it, apparently due to
their concept of time.

I don't know about your explanation for the non-maintenance but
assuredly much more could have been done in the way of maintenance
that wasn't.
