Public Utilities Minister Barry Padarath and the Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT) are at odds over reports of contract expirations at the state-owned telecoms provider.
Padarath yesterday pushed back against claims that the Government was orchestrating a “staff purge” at TSTT, although he acknowledged that some employees were nearing the end of their contracts.
“How can it be a purge if it is short-term employment that is determined by the management of the company, not myself or the board?” Padarath said when asked about the number of individuals who may be unemployed at the end of their contracts.
