President Irfaan Ali yesterday morning met with the executive management and chair of the Board of Directors of Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) to emphasise the importance of service delivery.
A release from the Office of the President said that he instructed GWI to actively engage with communities and improve communication regarding planned maintenance, service disruptions, and improvement plans.
The President also reminded GWI management about the deadlines for key projects and infrastructure delivery to further boost the water sector.
Yesterday, APNU+AFC Member of Parliament Jermaine Figueira expressed concern about the water situation in Linden.
“On behalf of the affected communities in Linden, I stand with the thousands of frustrated residents who have been without access to water for far too long. The situation in several communities, including Wisroc, One Mile, etc has become intolerable, unacceptable, and outright disrespectful to the people”, he said.
He added that to go without water for for over a week is simply unacceptable.
“I urge GWI to address and fix this problem immediately. The lives of thousands of people have been severely impacted, and this situation has gone on for far too long”, he said
