Data:Wasreb’sperformanceassessmenthasbeenmadedifficultbytheinabilityoftheWSPstosubmitcorrectdataonwaterservices.

Corporate Governance Guidelines: TheBoardwillalsohavetodealwithresistancetotheCorporateGovernanceGuidelinebyWSPsbecauseuntiltheWSPsacceptthemtheywillnotbeaccountableandmaybeunabletodeliverefficientandeffectiveservic-es.

Performance Subsidy: AlthoughWasrebhascontinuedtomonitortheperformanceoftheWSPs,thesurvivalofsomeoftheseinstitutionshaslargelydependedontheGoKsubsidywhichcoverstheircostofchemicals,electricityandsalaries.Unfortunate-ly,thesesubsidesarenotlinkedtotheperformanceoftheWSPsandthereforefailtocatalyzeorincentivizeimprovementintheservicedelivery.Wasrebwillthereforehavetoengagethenationalandcountygovernmentinensuringthatsubsidiesarelinkedtoperformance.
