NOT enough streets for so many holes

Of the five taxes charged into the gasoline of the Salvadorian drivers, one of them is to cover the costs of the FOVIAL, but I think that the citizens have enough arguments to tell that what they told about the money charged for the FOVIAL costs isn’t true, but a mere lie. After all this past raining months and days we can confirm that the streets have had damage and some even started to sink, but the FOVIAL isn’t there when it happens, they only do something when this problems becomes public in the news, then they go and solve the problem.  Many of the streets have suffered damages which are ignored by the FOVIAL completely, but then my question is, if the FOVIAL doesn’t use the money for solving the road network problems, then for what do they use it? Does the FOVIAL even have the money, or is the government using it for something else? If we continue this way in no time we will have to expand the streets to give more space for the holes to expanse! Nearly every street in El Salvador has holes nowadays. Some people say that the FOVIAL has distorted their duty, to reconstruct and improve the road network, they receive 66millions yearly, but some says that that isn’t enough, but I think people wouldn’t care to pay a little more if the FOVIAL REALLY did their job.
