The resignations from major state organisations continued yesterday, as Caribbean Airlines’ chairman Shameer ‘Ronnie’ Mohammed confirmed to staff he was stepping down.
In a bulletin to staff Mohammed said, “As I prepare to step down from my role as chairman of the board of directors, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each, and every one of you at Caribbean Airlines. It has been an incredible journey working alongside such a dedicated and passionate group of individuals.”
The staff notice continued, “Together, we have navigated challenges, celebrated achievements, and built a company that not only connects the Caribbean, but also provides a sense of pride and identity for our region. I am truly proud of what we have accomplished together, and I have every confidence that the future of Caribbean Airlines is bright.”
Mohammed was appointed to the board of Caribbean Airlines in November 2016.
His announcement follows the resignations of Sahid Hosein as the chairman of the National Petroleum Marketing Co Ltd and Hillan Morean as chairman of the East Port-of-Spain Development Company Ltd on Tuesday.
Both announcements were made with reference to the victory by the United National Congress in Monday’s General Election with both men stating that it was the best practice given the change in government.
