Gonzales challenges Padarath to drink brown tap water

Op­po­si­tion Chief Whip Mar­vin Gon­za­les is chal­leng­ing Pub­lic Util­i­ties Min­is­ter Bar­ry Padarath to drink a glass of the same brown wa­ter flow­ing from the taps of af­fect­ed house­holds.

In a so­cial me­dia post, Gon­za­les ques­tioned Padarath’s as­sur­ance in Par­lia­ment on Wednes­day that the dis­coloured wa­ter re­mained safe for do­mes­tic use.

“Stand be­fore the peo­ple of Trinidad and To­ba­go. Show them a glass of that same brown, dirty wa­ter flow­ing through their taps and tell us whether you would drink it or serve it to your chil­dren,” Gon­za­les said.
