FALSE: * "I was not paid $32,000 a month in salary."
*Amrit’s allegation that I received more than $304,000 in salary during the COVID-19 pandemic is incorrect
*The '$200,000 FBC Vehicle. The previous FBC board had approved as part of my entitlement as the former CEO of FBC.
* The Chairperson’s claim that this vehicle cost FBC around $200,000, and is not true.
* The purchase of the vehicle was sanctioned by the Board, and it was suggested that the vehicle be imported from New Zealand to save cost.
*The previous chairman has corroborated this information.
*Any professional board member would know that employment matters are confidential and should not be revealed to third parties.
*Why would the FBC Board whose fiduciary duty is to always act in the best interest of the company, want to have unprecedented dialogue and work with its media competitors in such an aggressively competitive media environment.
* What answers will the board give to its shareholders if it loses business and subsequent revenue to its competitors.
*Despite the amazing success by team FBC, the past boards, management and staff of the national broadcaster have continuously been subjected to conjecture and malicious rumours due to political point scoring, ignorance and professional jealousy by some media outlets who obviously continue to harbour resentment towards team FBC and me.
* Some media outlets are again blatantly ignoring to balance their recent negative stories about the FBC and have decided to only run the one-sided wild allegations by the new FBC board without making any attempts to get comments from me, and often, from the FBC.
* I was not provided with a single reason for my termination by the FBC Board, which occurred 3 days after the Board first met me.
*I only hope that the recent allegations and aspersions against me and the FBC are not part of any premeditated agenda because of my relationship with the former Attorney General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.
* Perhaps a person with a different name would not have been subjected to such false allegations.
* Such an agenda would not only seek to damage my professional standing but would also aim to turn loyal FBC staff against me.
*I remain determined and reserve all my rights to take legal action against anyone that is involved in maligning my reputation and character, including members of the FBC Board.
