PUBLIC SPACE AND PROMOTION-HUNGRY OFFICIALS


Folks, public space has been appropriated by some people planning to run for a certain position. They have put up tarpaulins in the middle of streets, thereby covering the vision of vehicle drivers. Another one erected obelisk-like structures right there at islands facing intersections using silver letters --a nephew of a city mayor sporting the same family name.

Could you, lawyers and other concerned citizens, please find out if there has been any violation based on the following:

From Wikipedia: "Public space is commonly shared and created for open usage throughout the community, where as private space is individually or corporately owned."

I would like to know also if public officials have the right to just appropriate for their promotional projects any public space for that matter.
