In a news item in the October 28th, 2013 edition of Stabroek News headlined ‘President remains mum on NCN scandal despite promises’, it was stated in part that “Goolsarran was suspended during the scandal which saw the resignations of NCN’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mohammed ‘Fuzzy’ Sattaur and Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GT&T) CEO Yog Mahadeo and the firing of several GT&T officials”.
Mr. Mahadeo has since advised the newspaper that his resignation from the telephone company had nothing to do with the scandal at NCN. Stabroek News regrets any imputation in the news item that Mr. Mahadeo’s resignation was as a result of the scandal at NCN and apologises for any embarrassment caused.
