OPPOSITION LEADER PENELOPE BECKLES IS ACCUSING THE GOVERNMENT OF, POSSIBLY USING THE COUNTRY'S WATER SUPPLY AS A TOOL FOR POLITICAL VICTIMISATION.

IN A STATEMENT YESTERDAY, MRS. BECKLES SAID, RESIDENTS IN ARIMA AND PARTS OF EAST TRINIDAD BELIEVE THEIR WATER PROBLEMS WORSENED, AFTER THE APRIL 28TH GENERAL ELECTION.

SHE STATED, THAT COMMUNITIES INCLUDING VALENCIA WEST, PINTO ROAD, CALVARY, SANTA ROSA AND ARIMA PROPER HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROLONGED WATER SHORTAGES AND LOW WATER PRESSURE, WITH SOME HOUSEHOLDS REPORTEDLY WITHOUT A PIPE-BORNE WATER SUPPLY FOR ALMOST THREE WEEKS.

ACCORDING TO THE PNM LEADER, RESIDENTS HAVE ALSO RAISED CONCERNS THAT BECAUSE WATER DISTRIBUTION IS MANUALLY OPERATED, SOME "TURNKEY" WORKERS CLAIM THEY ARE ACTING ON INSTRUCTIONS FROM SENIOR OFFICIALS.

SHE SAID, THOSE REPORTS HAVE FUELLED FEARS OF POSSIBLE POLITICAL VICTIMISATION.

THE OPPOSITION LEADER QUESTIONED WHETHER, THE SHORTAGES REFLECT A NATIONAL WATER SUPPLY PROBLEM AND ASKED, WHY RESIDENTS IN ARIMA ARE NOW EXPERIENCING DISRUPTIONS THEY DID NOT FACE BEFORE THE ELECTION.

SHE ALSO CRITICISED THE GOVERNMENT'S MANAGEMENT OF THE WATER SECTOR, SAYING DESPITE A $315 MILLION ALLOCATION TO IMPROVE THE COUNTRY'S WATER SUPPLY, RESIDENTS HAVE YET TO SEE THE BENEFITS.

THE OPPOSITION LEADER STATED THAT WORK CARRIED OUT AT THE GUANAPO WATER TREATMENT PLANT, HAS NOT RESULTED IN ANY NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENT IN WATER SUPPLIES TO ARIMA AND EAST TRINIDAD.

I95.5 NEWS HAS REACHED OUT TO THE MINISTRY OF PUBLIC UTILITIES, AND THE WATER AND SEWERAGE AUTHORITY FOR A RESPONSE.
