Kenneth Thomas, a technical officer with the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) assigned to the central and south division, is suing Meera Algoo, a Gran Couva woman, for defamation. Thomas claims that Algoo made defamatory statements about him on her Facebook account in April, which were republished by other groups on the social media platform. Algoo is also accused of posting Thomas's photo with the statements and a newspaper article featuring statements by Public Utilities Minister Marvin Gonzales about WASA employees allegedly cutting off water supplies to certain areas. Thomas's lawsuit also says Algoo made a video post in which she spoke disparagingly about him. Thomas is represented by attorney Richard Jaggasar and the case has been assigned to Justice Eleanor Donaldson-Honeywell.
