The first time I met Mr. Mahadeo was on a Saturday night at a wedding function at No. 64 Village, Corentyne, Berbice. I was really impressed with the way he conducted the function, his devotion, simplicity and sincerity was very evident. After the function I was introduced to him and we had a very healthy and fruitful conversation. Since then I never met him again, but I followed what he was doing at GT&T with interest.
When the news broke about a fraud at GT&T, I was convinced that Mr. Mahadeo had nothing to do with it and so far I have been correct. Since his appointment as CEO, the Hindu, Christian and Muslim communities have benefited from GT&T;sports and culture have also benefited. In fact, Mr. Mahadeo has been the face of GT&T and we are not seeing that face anymore.
What I would like to see is a statement from GT&T with regard to the fraud and if Mr. Mahadeo is involved as his good name and reputation are at stake.
If Mr. Mahadeo is not involved, would GT&T ask him to return?
I’ll be leaving the country on September 30, 2012, but I’ll be following the activities at GT&T as usual as GT&T is the best company.
