Ongoing essential maintenance work, my foot. The 'engineer' culture at SLT, Electricity board and water board should be brought to an end.

Water Works Woes: Capital City Gets a Surprise Soak-Off. Friday, 28 June 2024 04:29 PM

So, cutting off the water supply to the entire Capital City and its surroundings? Talk about a splashy move! Who knew water maintenance could make such a big splash in the news? It seems like those public enterprises were just treading water instead of keeping things flowing smoothly. With no performance reviews or accountability, it's like they're all just water under the bridge. Looks like the only ones getting soaked in this situation are the poor taxpayers! Let's hope they don't end up all washed up in the end!

So true. These institutions are power to themselves. But the issue is before can fix these institutions, we need to clean up the whole corrupt and rotten political leadership culture. The rot starts from the top down!
