LOBAMBA:Futhie ‘Mamkhize’ Ngcamphalala, the Lubombo Regional Member of Parliament(MP) came hard on the Eswatini Water Services Corporation(EWSC) for providing expensive water to the public.
Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday, the vocal MP wondered why the State owned entity under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Energy “requests Parliament to approve another increase” as water is already expensive in the country.
“We have gathered that the Water Services is generating millions as profits, why can’t they use those profits to subsidize the costs and provide affordable water to the public?”, she said.
Parliament subsequently approved the increase of water tariffs even thou some MPs were against the move.
