Non-government organizations contesting the ‘pass-on-charges’ by two giant water utility concessionaires on consumers are preparing plunder charges to be slapped not only on the private firms but also on government officials who worked at the Metropolitan Waterworks Sewerage System (MWSS) before and during the implementation of the controversial Concessionaire Agreement (CA).

Not only calling for President Benigno Aquino 3rd to void the CA, the Water for All Refund Movement (WARM) led by President Rodolfo Javellana, Jr. and Sonny Africa of the Water for the People Network (WPN) and executive director of Ibon Foundation, said they are preparing the plunder case against the owners of Maynilad and Manila Water as well as the government officials who worked for the privatization of the water supply service and sewerage and sanitation mandated by law to the MWSS.
