He said the objective was to ensure MTS could meet its financial obligations, including payments to suppliers, salaries and employee deductions. Kanhai acknowledged that both the EPA and the Transport and Industrial Workers Union (TIWU), which represent MTS employees, had been affected by the situation. In a statement yesterday, EPA president Deryck Richardson alleged that deductions for the Millennium Insurance Brokers Security Officers Health Plan, underwritten by Sagicor Insurance, had not been remitted since June. The Association alleged the remittance problems have existed since 2018 despite repeated representations to MTS management, ministers and other authorities. Nearly a year later, however, the EPA said officers and retirees continue to face the consequences of the alleged failures.
