Smart City Solutions (SCS) Managing Director of Business Development, Amir Oren, and Managing Director of Operations, Simon Moshelle, today condemned “in the strongest possible terms, an utterly obscene and despicable statement issued by Mr. Ifa Kamau Cush. This statement was issued without knowledge and authority of Smart City Solutions. Mr Cush neither speaks for nor represents Smart City Solutions”, a statement from the company said.
Cush issued a derogatory statement yesterday on social media in response to a query to him for a copy of the parking meters contract.
He said “You’re not progressives. You are freeloaders. You lack the intestinal fortitude to control your own destiny. You all possess the mentality of slaves, indentured servants, incapable of generating wealth and building capacity”.
Cush had been the lead player behind the controversial parking meters until he was swept aside in September last year when SCS was taken over by a major Mexican company with American Amir Oren as the key investor representing the company.
The SCS statement today said that “Smart City Solutions fully recognizes the democratic right of all persons and organizations to express their views, disagreement with and, indeed, protest against any matter. Smart City Solutions is entirely (committed) to freedom of speech and assembly.
“Smart City Solutions wishes to disassociate itself completely with this disgraceful statement issued by Mr. Cush.”
