Former NBS manager was dismissed in part for refusing to attend board meeting

Kent Vincent

Former New Building Society (NBS) manager Kent Vincent was sacked in 2007, not because of any inefficiency in his performance, but rather partly because of his refusal to attend a meeting called by Board of Directors of the financial institution.

This was the testimony on Tuesday by Director of the NBS, Dr Nanda Gopaul, who was at the time testifying in the lawsuit filed against the bank by Vincent, who is challenging his dismissal.

Vincent was one of three managers dismissed back in 2007 over a $69 million fraud at the institution and who were all subsequently charged with conspiracy to defraud the institution.
