Sahadeo: Port GM search cost $100,000

“Further the Chairman of the HR committee was Glenn Wilson, not Christine Sahadeo,” Sahadeo added. “And a tender to contract a recruiting firm was made by the HR sub-committee of the Board. This was approved and signed by six of the seven Board members. Sahadeo confirmed her resignation as Chairman of the Port Authority Board, but indicated this was done on Wednesday last, “hence the statement that, “Cabinet fires entire Port Board” is inaccurate.” Newsday has since been advised that the other six members of the board formally tendered their resignation on Sunday. The board members – Michael Patterson, Radha Permanand, Glenn Wilson, Ken Wright, Melissa Alexis James, a Ferdinand Ferreira – sent a joint letter to the Minister of Works and Transport dated March 5, advising of their resignation “with immediate effect” saying it has been an honour and privilege to serve their country. The Board was installed in November 2015. (See Page 15A)
