Former Public Utilities minister and Opposition MP Marvin Gonzales has called for the removal of the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) CEO and its communications manager after emergency repairs to a leak on the morning of September 8 – the first day of school – caused heavy traffic and frustration to many commuters.

Jeevan Joseph is WASA’s acting CEO and Glen Singh is the authority’s acting head of information and communications, while communications expert Ellen Lewis returned to the authority as the co-ordinator of its customer care division.

In a Facebook post, Gonzales said, “Remove your incompetent CEO and your new communications manager that were brought back in the authority.”
