Philipsburg: --- The National Alliance/ Heyliger and Laveist Government have appointed Kendall Dupersoy and Reza Amjad to the supervisory board of TELEM. Both Amjad and Dupersoy were appointed some two weeks ago. Newspaper reports stated that the board has appointed the elder Amjad to the board of TELEM, which caused some confusion since several prominent St. Maarteners, said they are not in favor of the appointment made by the NA/Heyliger and Laveist Government.
Some said the only reason the National Alliance has appointed Amjad to the board is because the elder Amjad supports the National Alliance financially.
Reza Amjad holds a degree in communication and is willing to serve St. Maarten. He also manages his own company on the French side of the island.
Dupersoy on the other hand was an employee of TELEM and has served the company for three years some eight years ago. He is currently working at the Princess Juliana International Airport.
Sources say that certain politicians are using reporters to publish false information since Imran Macsood Amjad has no interest in holding any positions in government and he could have been reached by phone if the reporter who wrote the story was interested in clarifying their facts.
In an invited comment, Leader of Government William Marlin said Amjad was appointed to the board of TELEM.
