Dear Editor,
I am a 16-year-old girl who finds it incredibly uncomfortable to carry out basic hygiene tasks on a day-to-day basis because running water is not available. Sometimes I will even remain filthy for the day without water. And I have reason to believe that it will only get worse for upcoming years.
Has the prime minister said anything? Is she even in the country? Would we have restricted service for a President Obama revisit?
I ask myself all these questions. And, as a teenager, I should not be worrying about when I will be able to flush my toilet or the fact that I couldn't get a proper bath on my birthday.
Oh, how rich water tank sellers and installers must be.
All this because the Government had refused to expand its water-holding facilities. When the rain comes all is forgotten until next July.
Seriously, has the prime minister said anything yet?
