Minister of Water Matthew Samuda has rejected claims by Opposition Spokesman on Water and Special Projects Ian Hayles that communities represented by the parliamentary opposition are being excluded from the distribution of water projects.
Speaking at a post-Cabinet press briefing on Wednesday, Samuda said Hayles' assertion was “abject nonsense” that could be easily disproved.
“I can’t imagine how such a ludicrous statement could be made when $11 billion is already being spent and three of the constituencies that will benefit the most are indeed being held by the Opposition. It’s nonsense and it should be rebuffed as such,” Samuda said.
