Water! Give me Water!

MP Jassim Al-MowaliOr at least as I am a full Bahraini citizen, I should get my own desalinisation plant (arabic), paid for by the Government. Of course.

You almost never hear of this guy, except for that time that he was implicated molesting a young lady at the university, now he’s come up from obscurity wanting to dish it out, just in time for re-election.

Let’s see what the criteria is for receiving his benevolence though:

  • Available to houses of Bahraini citizens ONLY. If you’re a foreigner, then you can drink from the sewer for all he cares.
  • Family income not more than BD 500 per month.
  • No family member should own a Commercial Registration (ie, his own business.)
  • Government pays for this water desalinisation plant once (per family.)
  • Family pays maintenance.
  • Family pays for consumables.

How about that? Aren’t these people really doing us favours?
