the government of this country, does not pay its bill to the CWSA; and owes in excess of 3 1/2 million dollars.

There would be an increase in water rates coming soon which was announced by Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves in his budgetary speech.
Honorable Daniel Cummings parliamentary representative for West Kingstown announced to the nation in his speech, that there will be increased in water because the government of this country, does not pay its bill to the CWSA; and owes in excess of 3 1/2 million dollars.
Cummings added that when talks of loans are being mention, it is we who are paying our water bill, are now asked to subsidies the government and pay higher rates, simply because the government did not pay for the excellent service that is provided by the institution.
Additionally, Cummings further explained that CWSA Solid Waste policies were not properly carried out by the government under the World Bank project with effective management of solid waste. He said they are also bleeding because of the burden of solid waste which should not have been.

“Why is the government not telling the people the truth on the cross country road” is another question raised by Daniel Cummings.
Cummings said in the capital estimate on one hand the project is unhold but in the projection, what they are going to do is to complete a feasibility study.
He further questioned is it unhold or is it continuing. He then ask rhetorically if the government is afraid to tell the people that it wasn’t real or if not tell us what is real.
