ST AUGUSTINE MP Vasant Bharath confirmed yesterday he has
resigned as chief executive officer (CEO) of the Nutrimix
Group of Companies to devote himself full time to serving
his constituents.
In a telephone interview, Bharath said he had made several
commitments to his constituents during the election campaign
and he intends to keep them.
“In
order to be able to fulfil those commitments to my liking,
I need to devote more time to my constituents and a full
time job restricts me from doing that,” he said.
In his resignation letter to Nutrimix president Shaheed
Mohammed, dated January 11, the Opposition MP said the country
is in a deep social and political crisis.
“I
have, therefore, decided to devote more of my time and efforts
in representing the people of St Augustine, and assisting,
where I am able, in rebuilding our once safe and beautiful
nation.”
Bharath has held the position of CEO at Nutrimix since April
2005.
He sais he left Nutrimix with a sense of satisfaction at
seeing the company capturing a significant share of the
local market.
Bharath said his priority now was to address the problems
associated with the Blackman Ravine in St Augustine.
In addition, he said, he was addressing the issue of housing
and compensation for Oropoune residents.
Bharath said this may lead to legal action against the Government.
