Wherever you journey around major urban centres, and beyond, you are met with an equal measure of the beautiful Tower of Babel type of buildings, and run-down walls of Jerusalem before they were rebuilt by Nehemiah kind of structures.

The menace of incomplete developments in the country is not new, with a sizeable number of these buildings being state-funded.
