Guatemalan Congressman Exposes Sewage Scandal: Residents Pay, But Get Dirt Roads and No Drainage

Residents of Rodeo, Zone 7, in Guatemala City, have long suffered from inadequate sewage systems despite paying for the service for over two decades. The poor infrastructure is evident in the dirt roads and lack of drainage. Congressman Cristian Álvarez GT has taken up the residents' cause, filing a complaint with the Ministry of Environment and EMPAGUA. "It's incredible that in this city, with all the money the mayor has, there are still places with dirt roads and no drainage," Álvarez states in the video. He vows to continue pressing for action, highlighting the health risks posed to residents by the lack of proper sanitation. The video showcases the stark contrast between the residents' plight and the billing they receive for a service not adequately provided. This case underscores the need for greater accountability and transparency in public services.
