“My immediate response to the termination is to try and put in place a ‘check and balance’ mechanism, which would allow the public to hold the new administration of SPAN accountable, and to also ensure their actions and decisions are justifiable to the people,” he said. Santiago said that he had also pushed for SPAN to conduct special performance audits on water utilities, on top of its usual audit activities, adding that, three companies have been audited.
Santiago said that he has also done his best to raise public awareness through the media about the impact of river pollution to water supply in states like Perak and Kedah. “We intended to consult various stakeholders to provide input to the country’s national climate adaptation plan for water and raise public awareness on the importance of water conservation in the age of climate change. But that had to be postponed due to Covid-19. I will, however, continue to work on the seminar that will be held in the format of a webinar in the near future,” he added.
