This statement was made by the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Energy and Public Utilities, M Ivan Leslie Collendavelloo this afternoon, during his intervention on the Covid-19 (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill and the Quarantine Bill, in the National Assembly, in Port Louis.
He recalled that Mauritius has, since the beginning of February, been in a sanitary emergency and this situation has persisted and the country is still under threat.
Speaking about the two Bills, the DPM pointed out that both have been discussed and have received the contribution of one and all before being introduced in the National Assembly.
However, this is a time when temporary measures must be taken, the DPM highlighted.
As regards the public utilities sector, Mr Collendavelloo remarked that Government has given sufficient guaranties on the water sector reform and the population has been disciplined and has supported the actions of the authorities.
