Currently, the board has advised me that there has been some lapse of internal control. Since this has happened under my watch, and since I have always held true to my principles, I have taken the decision to step down from my role at the company and to resign from any post at GT&T. This decision was tendered to the board last night. “

I must say I am proud to have given Guyana the Ten/10 competition, I am proud to have given you many many bold and new things, too many to mention. 

My eyes have oft mist over when I reflect on Ten/10, FastBall, Jingle&Song Bollywood competition, ColorFest, Gospel Concert, Cinderella, National Spelling Bee, Berbice Rebellion, Feel the beat, Text, Talk, Topup, Dollar talk, Gameshow, Dora, Text-me, Wrestling, Easterfest, Beres Hammond, Donnie McClurkin, Shilpa Shetty, Night of love, Magical night of Christmas, Know-your-stuff competition, Switch-it-upp.

There were also Diwali on the streets, Quaseeda competition and a whole lot more. Our presence at previous Building Exposition, GuyExpo, BikersFest , Motor racing and other such events were imaginative and extraordinary. “
