Parliament: PAICV accuses government of failure in policy on water mobilisation

Praia, Jul 29 (Inforpress) – Today, the African Party for the Independence of Cabo Verde (PAICV, opposition) accused the government in parliament of having ‘failed to implement effective public policies’ to mobilise water, ‘leaving entire communities without access to this essential resource’.

The complaint was made by PAICV MP Eveline Ramos during her political statement at the last parliamentary session of July, which runs until Friday 31st.

This plenary session marks the end of the parliamentary year and the highlight will be the debate on the State of the Nation on Friday 31st, with the presence of the Prime Minister. 

"The government of the MpD has failed completely in the policy of water mobilisation in Cabo Verde. It promised a lot and achieved little. It has discontinued structural projects, such as the water supply plan for Santiago Island, which provided for the installation of 12 desalination plants, with a direct impact on consumption and agriculture.
