PRIME Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says government has taken a decision to scrap a Water and Sewerage Authority ( WASA) transformation plan created under its PNM predecessor.

In making this announcement at a post-cabinet news conference at the Red House in Port of Spain on Thursday May 15, Persad-Bissessar ripped up a copy of this transformation plan to the applause of government ministers and Public Services Association (PSA) president Felicia Thomas who attended the conference.

Among the ministers applauding Persad-Bissessar's actions was Labour Minister Leroy Baptiste, Thomas' immediate predecessor as PSA president. The PSA represents the majority of WASA's workers.
