Asked whether this added responsibility will not put pressure on the company’s financial resources now the government is no longer giving financial support, Mr Savy said this is not the case.
In an interview with 'Nation', he said over the years the company has been involved in various development programmes, especially in the field of tourism, on several islands and these have allowed it to sustain its activities.
He said these programmes have been made possible through long-term government investments such as airstrips, transport and communication facilities and other infrastructure.
The above was in an interview held with the IDC boss, Mr. Glenny Savy and in regards to the closing of the 'prawns' project on the island of Coetivy. The once grand scheme of former head of SMB,former President Albert Rene, who is still leader of the SPPF.
Coetivy the dream of Mr. Rene and championed by Mr. G. Savy.
Today as the country sits bankrupt we are told that IDC will effectively manage what is now a dead island, and that is Coetivy.
Our 'Image of the Moment' shows clearly how IDC 'managed' the people's money. A luxury guest house for senior officials to stay at when visiting the island. Located not that far from an ex-SPDF military camp, this house was equipped with a stand alone generator, water storage, fully airconditioned, televisions, fully equipped modern kitchen, bedrooms, large living room with modern furniture, and of course on the beach.
This part of the island was not visited by the workers but rather those well connected within government.
We see clearly how well IDC has managed our money!
