With a number of top officials retiring and the managing director going on a foreign tour, smooth functioning of the Kerala Water Authority (KWA) has become headless.
The technical member, the chief engineer - general, chief engineer – JICA project and chief engineer - WASCON have retired on May 31. The post of accounts member, who is responsible to review the financial matters of the department, is lying vacant for the past two years. “The Accounts member worked in KWA on deputation from AG’s office. The post remains vacant ever since he went back to AG’s office two years ago,” said a KWA employee. Currently, finance manager is in charge of the work of the accounts member.
Though the Managing director is on a visit to Netherlands, none has been given the additional charge. The MD is expected to return on June 10. Replacements for the retired personnel can be done only after the return of MD from foreign tour. Currently, there is no head for the multi-crore project Japan International Cooperation Agency-assisted water supply scheme. The chief engineer post of WASCON, the consultancy wing of KWA, too remains vacant.
“Functioning of department is getting affected as the top officials in the decision making body are absent. It may be reflected in the allotment of government fund to the department,” said an employee.
