Region Six Chairman David Armogan who on Thursday confirmed the resignation of the Skeldon Estate General Manager, Vishnu Panday, yesterday said that after seeking clarification it has been determined that Panday has not resigned.
Armogan had made the confirmation on Thursday while responding to a question from Shurla Scott-Richardson, APNU+AFC Councillor, at the first statutory meeting of the Region Six Regional Democratic Council.
However, yesterday, Armogan contacted Stabroek News and explained that after the issue was raised by Scott-Richardson, who is close to Panday, he thought the information was authentic, but after seeking further clarity yesterday he has discovered that “the man is still on the job.”
However, sources have told Stabroek News that it does not seem as though Panday will withdraw his resignation.
On Thursday, Scott questioned whether the reopening of the estate would be affected by Panday’s resignation. “Can you say that would cause some level of setback for Skeldon Estate and who would be the person that would replace him if you have that information?” she asked the chairman.
Armogan had responded, “Panday as you know, he was a manager there before, he worked at that estate but he hasn’t stated the reason why he resigned so we assume he had resigned for reasons of a personal nature because he hasn’t stated exactly why he resigned, so right now we are looking to replace him at Skeldon Estate.”
