    I think that the current state of affairs with regards to sewerage in this country should have been considered REQUISITE prior to her receiving any awards.

    That the selection committee granted such awards without such knowledge, should suggest, to all, the inefficiency of its knowledge base, and should render the granting bodies,null and void, and get about the business of becoming disbanded!
