Utilty Bills increasing hardships - AD

The excessive price of water and electricity was increasing hardships on Maltese society, AD spokesman for social and economic development Michael Briguglio said.

"Despite government's rhetoric on being close the people, water and electricity bills remain sky-high, causing difficulties to thousands of workers, pensioners, families and small businesses.

"AD reiterates its proposal for government to conduct a scientific study to show the different needs of households and businesses before imposing these unjust utility tariffs.

"Basic use of water and electricity should not be penalised," he said.

AD chairman Arnold Cassola sadi the government was committing one mistake after another on the water and electricity issue.

"The utility prices reveal a lack of social conscience, the recent blackouts reveal a lack of planning, the recent tender on a new turbine at Delimara reveal a lack of environmental consciousness and transparency, and the procrastination on alternative energy reveal a lack of priority-setting."
