At the same time, since the 2000s, buildings were constructed and roads were laid. During this process, all the drainage lines that used to carry rainwater into the sea were destroyed. This situation is the result of uncontrolled construction, corruption, and bribery. Part of the billions earned from oil revenues was spent on meaningless tunnels and roads in Baku. As a result, we have once again seen that this system simply does not exist in the city.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The economist says solving the problem will require billions more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cAll roads would have to be dug up again. Tunnels must be rebuilt. This isn\u2019t only about sewage or rainwater. Roads are collapsing because they lack proper foundations. Highways have been built over unstable ground. All of this requires enormous sums of money. But there is no visible prospect for improvement because the Azerbaijani government does not accept modern governance practices. Ilham Aliyev personally resolves these matters in one way or another.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also says affected residents should take legal action:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cAll of this happened because state institutions failed to perform their duties properly.
