The departure of former WASA acting CEO Jeevan Joseph has not affected plans for WASA, says Public Utilities Minister Barry Padarath.

Responding to questions from Newsday, Padarath said while the ministry respects Joseph’s decision to step down from the role, WASA was “far advanced” with several short-term and medium-term projects.

“We have a very strong, competent team at WASA, headed by chairman, Mr Roshan Babwah. Therefore our operations and management have continued without any hiccups,” Padarath said.
