Fazeer Mohammed’s dismissal from State-owned Caribbean New Media Group (CNMG) is "quite reasonable" the founder of a new association purported to represent media practitioners has said.
Devant Maharaj the founder of the Association of Independent Media of Trinidad and Tobago (AIMtt) said according to his information Mohammed was being paid an exorbitant salary at the expense of tax payers.
Maharaj, also the newly appointed chairman of the Public Service Transport Commission (PTSC), in defence of Mohammed’s dismissal from
State-owned media network, Caribbean New Media Group (CNMG), in a "cost-cutting" move.
"CNMG was at the feeding trough of the national treasury with high salaries of the likes of Mr Mohammed," Maharaj said.
Maharaj said the Media Association of Trinidad and Tobago’s (MATT) quick response to the Mohammed situation, while always dragging its feet when the People’s National Movement (PNM) was in office shows MATT is politically biased.
