APNU+AFC Region Six Councillor, Shurla Scott-Richardson has informed Stabroek News that, based on her own investigation, Skeldon Estate’s General Manager, Vishnu Panday, has been replaced by former finance manager, Rama Persaud.
Calls and messages by Stabroek News to Chief Executive Officer, Sasenarine Singh, to comment on this development went unanswered. Panday, had been appointed point person/general manager, along with a small team, to create an action plan for the Skeldon Estate since September, 2020. He is said to have tendered his resignation.
Scott-Richardson raised the issue at Region Six’s statutory meeting, yesterday, noting that Panday had been replaced by Persaud. Regional Chairman, David Armogan, however insisted that he had no idea about a resignation. The Chairman stated that the last time he was at the estate with Minister of Finance, Ashni Singh, Panday was present in the capacity of estate manager. “At the moment I am not aware that he has resigned”, Armogan said. However, Scott-Richardson, after the meeting told this newspaper, “You know the protocol after a resignation of having a month or two months’ notice, so that was the period, but he (Panday) did resign”, she insisted.
