Ah betting on KEITH DIAZ to control the meeting with an IRON FIST and WALK TALL out of the meeting on his way to a VERY SUCCESSFUL PANORAMA and the start of an election campaign running right into OCTOBER.

  • YOU ALL should read this statement from KEITH DIAZ very carefully and put it in the context of the exchanges which took place over the LAST YEAR and a lot of POLITICAL MACHINATIONS would become quite clear. To me, the picture is quite clear and stays consistent with my evaluation of DEALS MADE!!!

    The key sentence: "Pan Trinbago continues to be committed to work with the government for culture in the country."

    Pan Trinbago president Keith Diaz is certain that the increase in fuel prices could negatively impact the 2018 National Panorama competition. He said: “Panorama begins on January 4 with the North Region Single Pan judging. In terms of transport, there is no need for that as preliminary is now being done in panyards. The truckers set the price for transport so there’s nothing Pan Trinbago can do about that.

    “Steelbands will face higher costs to transport their instruments from their panyards to the various competitions nationwide for Panorama. Panorama is held in every region, inclusive of Tobago. We taking about 65 Single Pan bands, 62 Small Bands, 32 Medium and 17 Large steelbands. That is a total of roughly over 170 steelbands all told. Do the math and you will appreciate the cost of transport and trucking.”

    Diaz added that Pan Trinbago is awaiting word on what quantum of allocation his organisation will be given out of the recently read budget. He said: “Pan Trinbago will definitely run next year’s Panorama but the amount of subsidy we will get to execute remains an unknown factor. Anytime there is a recession the first thing that is hit is culture although it is culture which generates a high percentage revenue for our country.

    “In the budget I haven’t heard anything mentioned about the allocation to culture, especially to the national instrument. Despite this, no one has seen any protest, placards or any form of action from the steelband movement against this government. Pan Trinbago continues to be committed to work with the government for culture in the country.

    “I also feel that dialogue with Government as a way forward for them to properly understand the cultural landscape of our country.”

  • Claude...remember I said this here.....with you
    There will be NO PANORAMA 2018....under that entire executive led by KEITH DIAZ.
    Big statement... Big Balls bolted on...if I am proved wrong...ah apologize and eat my shirt.

      • Keith Diaz is ah Lame Duck President.

  • ppl pray for me because they sending all they barjons to take me out. but i am just i little half indian boy from south don't know why i commanding so much attention.

    • ... a little half indian boy from south who WANTS to take BREAD out of KEITH DIAZ and FORTEAU MOUTH. That is a DANGEROUS mission in these desperate economic times in TRINIDAD and TOBAGO. But somehow I feel that GREGORY LINDSAY ON EDGE and he eh go let NOBODY TOUCH YUH.
      Ah hoping that all the legislative red tape that GREGORY going and PRESENT in that meeting have PRACTICAL APPLICATION. But Keith Diaz doh care about NO CONSTITUTION as he has previously demonstrated.

      Ah still betting on KEITH DIAZ to PREVAIL!!! Even with a broken crystal ball I could still see KEITH DIAZ ruling PAN TRINBAGO until 2020!!!

  • Claude, leave the jep nest alone.
  • Introduction of a MInimum 15 players Registration Listing at Registration,....Submission of delegates to AGM deadline ended today....Zero tolerance..Enforcement  of Meeting Standing Orders in full effect...

    A very well respected band leader with whom I share very good relations with seems to have been mistakenly traded his normal affluent brillance in for bullshit today,....when he asked me to relay to my colleague Aquil Arrindell, Chairman CIP, that"to not put his name on the Social Media,"...and that further to that, with threatening firm intonation, to relay that "tell him I could go down to San Fernando to let him know myself..."

    As-salamu alaykum to my brother who seems to be preoccupied with the security of H.E.The President, that of his officers,covering up his stewardship of malfeasance, and hoping that he is boldface enough to openly silence his harshest critics outside the President's office....while the auditors figure out on the 2nd floor above the HQ parlor, how again best to misrepresent our constituency of this movement yet again.

    Bully tactics not going to work anymore, security boss, .we too far along for that now, for no weapon formed against shall prosper.

    Looking forward to seeing you for sure, security boss at the University of Docksford Campus @ SWWTU along with Boss and his merry men..In Sha Allah

    8 days to go....
