And we also got to ask CEO Tesecum about Government's and Social Security's public-private partnership. That's the $54.5 million dollar construction of the Public Administration Campus on Chetumal Street/Boulevard being executed through what is called a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) named "Public Administration Campus 1 Limited."
But reports say government-which is the minority-has gone ahead and appointed Troy Gabb as General Manager without consulting their Social Security partners.
And at least one of the members of the board also happened to resign. That's Tesecum, who told us his hands are just too full:
Reporter-
"Were you a part of any special purpose vehicle that was developed by the government and according to them you have resigned from special purpose vehicles?"
Ivan Tesucum, Chief Executive Officer, DIGI
"I was a member of one for the, I believe for the Social Security Board being the finance individual, but yes afterwards I resigned from it as well."
Reporter-
"Why was that?"
Ivan Tesucum, Chief Executive Officer, DIGI
"Just personal, I don't have time. I am running DIGI at the end of the day and that is my focus. My focus is to ensure that I continue to create value for the great shareholders of Belize because each and every one of us who are here, all of you who are interviewing me, are shareholders of that because when we make a profit and we are able to declare dividends, that goes back to the Government of Belize, Social Security Board, through the Central Bank and through the 1,500 plus shareholders. So my focus is ensuring that DIGI continues to grow and we continue with our mandate to ensure that we transform our country and continue to lead in digital transformation, so I have to focus."
