The presidents of the six municipalities of São Tomé threatened today to suspend garbage collection. The decision comes as a protest against the lack of financial transfers from the Government of São Tomé and Príncipe.
The mayors state that the executive is conditioning the payments due to companies and the functioning of municipal services. This situation has called into question the ability of the municipalities to keep basic services running.
The threat of suspending garbage collection directly affects the population of the six municipalities on the island of São Tomé. The presidents of the municipal chambers are demanding that the Government comply with its financial obligations to the municipalities.
