The
government should establish a state-owned company to manage water
resources to guarantee people access to clean water, an analyst has
said, after the recent annulment of a law that bans private monopolies
on the resource.
“Clean water is a basic need. If it’s not a state firm then it should be a company owned by local administrations,” said Indonesia Resources Studies director Marwan Batubara on Monday as quoted by kompas.com.
The Constitutional Court recently repealed the 2004 law on water resources, arguing that it contravened the Constitution’s stipulation of state control of the country’s natural resources.
The repeal outlaws private monopolies on water resources, although it does not cancel current private regional concessions.
It also allows companies to buy only a certain volume of water for sale, and has banned sales of clean water abroad.
A number of private water concessions have resulted in clean water crises, resulting in hardships in everyday life and the agriculture sector. - See more at: http://m.thejakartapost.com/news/2015/02/24/national-scene-clean-water-should-be-handled-state.html#sthash.w0Q2GATd.dpuf
