In Tanzania, the decision of elected representatives to build a new highway in a rural area may not represent the preference of the society they serve. This is because the highway would benefit the local government and businesses, but the local residents may not benefit from it as much. The local residents may prefer that the money be used to improve existing infrastructure, such as roads, schools, and hospitals, which would benefit them more directly.
