Government Denies Selling State-Owned Water And Sewerage Company

(CMC) – The Grenada government has described as misleading statements made a leading trade unionist that the Keith Mitchell administration had sold the National Water and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA) to a Chinese concern.

IN a statement, the government said that it was “compelled to respond to recent statements made by the President of the Public Workers Union (PWU), Ms. Rachel Roberts, aired on local media, in which she inferred that she had been informed that NAWASA had been sold to a Chinese entity”.

The Mitchell administration said that it “has not in any way sold, divested or transferred NAWASA or any part thereof, to any entity, Chinese or otherwise. NAWASA remains a statutory body, owned by the Government and People of Grenada”

The government said that it is “unfortunate that such a reckless statement would be made by someone who could easily verify its accuracy.

“The Government of Grenada, therefore, calls on Ms. Roberts to retract that statement which only serves to mislead and unsettle the nation,” the statement said.

There has been no response as yet from either the PWU or Roberts to the government statement.
