The mataqali Nabukarabe of Nakama Village in Macuata will soon close the Nasarava water catchment if the Water Authority of Fiji fails to pay leases arrears amounting to over one million.
Spokesperson for the mataqali Nabukarabe, Osea Waqainavatu told fijivillage News that other villagers of Nakama have also agreed with the mataqali’s decision to close the water catchment after seven days from Thursday.
Waqainavatu says the water source has not been leased by WAF or any other stakeholders for water supply over the past 75 years.
He adds that the issue has been raised many times during meetings with government officials during their visits to the village, but nothing has been done to date.
When questioned by fijivillage News, Minister for Works, Ro Filipe Tuisawau says the matters are currently being progressed via the Commissioner North with complex legal matters via the Ministry of Lands and iTLTB.
He says he perfectly understands the frustrations of the mataqali and the joint team is working to resolve he issue by the end of week and meet the mataqali soon.
