The Minister questioned Abdullah’s moral authority to speak on WASA’s tranformation on Saturday.
He said that Abdullah was part of the People’s Partnership Government that go a loan of three hundred and ninety four million dollars to retrench 1200 WASA employees.
Minister Gonzales asked whether Abdulah had questioed the contract between the People’s Partnership and DESALCOTT under what he referred to as ‘that corrupt Government’.
