did you see the salary? $200,000.00 a month (guestimated)

Tv6 did a bad thing however, why show it at the same time of breaking barriers and why no proper announcement of its showing

The issue is all the other things surrounding UDeCOTT and Hart in particular.
The issue of the Contracts, CH Construction, Sunway and that is what is known about.
There's nothing wrong with making money, and getting paid 200,000 TT a month, that's just US$30,000 a month. A great salary for certain, but nowhere close to what is made at mid to high level in the States or Canada at upper executive levels.
The issue is allegations of bid rigging etc. are what needs to be investigated. The efficiency and transparency of having one man on so many interrelated state boards also must be questioned.
There's no way this makes any bit of sense in any part of the world. And now he is also involved in the Banking sector, in Government's First Citizen's bank.
How all this has led to this massive influx of Chinese companies and labor also needs to be questioned.
It's interesting that the least important fact, that is how much the man makes monthly (which dwarfs the hundreds of millions that could be at risk if there was corruption) is what Trinis remember the most. I guess that was a good move by TV6, they understand the public

But his salary is part of the issue and is just symptomatic of a bigger problem which is...how de hell this man...a non national...could get all these appointments to all of these state boards? It brings into question his alleged relationship with the PM and the issue of corruption.
I also disagree with the point that it's "just US$30,000." Everything is relative and that figure has to be taken in the context of T&T society. With the shrinking middle class and growing lower class what does the average citizen make per month...in $US? And again he's a non-national. It was even mentioned that the PM's salary with perks only amounts to TT$ 70 or 80K for running the whole country, if I remember correctly.It must also be taken in the context of his supposed expertise. As one example part of the documentary focused on some housing construction unit that he was in charge of in Canada and the alleged improprieties that occurred there. When called upon he could not explain these to the Canadian authorities. So what expertise are we paying him for?...
