Dear Madam Prime Min­is­ter Mia Mot­t­ley,

Per­mit me to in­tro­duce my­self. My name is Bal­li­ram Ma­haraj, I am the Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer of ADM Im­port & Ex­port Dis­trib­u­tors Lim­it­ed, a food im­port and dis­tri­b­u­tion busi­ness in Trinidad and To­ba­go, where I have con­tributed to the food in­dus­try for mo­er than four decades. I am a mem­ber of sev­er­al busi­ness as­so­ci­a­tions, in­clud­ing the Trinidad & To­ba­go Cham­ber of Com­merce and a foun­da­tion mem­ber of the Su­per­mar­kets’ As­so­ci­a­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go.

On be­half of my fam­i­ly and ded­i­cat­ed em­ploy­ees, we wish to ex­press our deep­est grat­i­tude for the as­sis­tance you ren­dered to our 33 T&T fel­low cit­i­zens who found them­selves strand­ed in Bar­ba­dos when our coun­try closed its bor­ders dur­ing this COVID-19 pan­dem­ic. Madam Prime Min­is­ter, you re­spond­ed de­ci­sive­ly to this once-in-a-life­time cri­sis. Bar­ba­dos did not re­ject our cit­i­zens, in­stead, you went above and be­yond the ex­pect­ed call of du­ty to en­sure that they were com­fort­ably housed and all of their needs were ad­e­quate­ly ad­dressed.

Madam Prime Min­is­ter, I fol­lowed your ad­dress at the En­er­gy Cham­ber’s Con­fer­ence which was host­ed in Trinidad ear­li­er this year, and in my hum­ble view, you are an out­stand­ing role mod­el. Ho­n­ourable Prime Min­is­ter, if there was ever a mo­ment in time that we need­ed peo­ple like you, that time is now. You are an ex­em­plar of lead­er­ship, dis­play­ing sen­si­ble de­ci­sion-mak­ing, cou­pled with com­pas­sion. Per­mit me, Madam, apart from say­ing thanks to you, to al­so ex­tend our sin­cer­est ap­pre­ci­a­tion for the sup­port and kind­ness demon­strat­ed by the peo­ple of Bar­ba­dos to­wards our fel­low cit­i­zens.

In clos­ing Ho­n­ourable Prime Min­is­ter, I wish you good health, strength and long life, and may God bless you rich­ly, so that you can con­tin­ue to lead by ex­am­ple, im­part­ing re­spect and ho­n­our for all hu­man be­ings, re­gard­less of creed, race or na­tion­al­i­ty.

Bal­li­ram Ma­haraj
