Members of the South Darfur Parliament criticised the huge deficit in the supply of drinking water in the state.
On Thursday, the state Ministry of Urban Planning presented its report about the water supply in South Darfur to the Parliament, revealing that the deficit amounts to 80 percent of the needs of the population.
The MPs severely criticised the water corporation’s failure to meet the growing need for drinking water by enlarging its production capacities.
South Darfur MP Mohamed El Amin Ishag noted that the water corporation in the state cut off the drinking water supply to more than 15,000 houses in the capital of Nyala a year ago, because of “undercapacity – though the owners of these houses continued paying their water bills”.
