Pan players led a protest against  Pantrinbago for outstanding Panorama stipends and the removal of the Pantrinbago regime led by Keith Diaz. As far as I know the Steelbands did not participate in the protest, Steelbands are practicing for Panorama 2017 and the players are practicing. If the players are coming out to practice with their steelbands, it tells me that the Players are to be blamed . Because with no players steelbands cannot go Panorama and pantrinbago cannot function without steelbands. BLESSINGS.

  • Pan players were upset about the none payment of stipends.............. That and that alone. The call for the central executive, led by the President to resign, came on after............ We need quality leadership................ The person who talks the most, the loudest or is pushy, seems to be the qualities needed to be steelband leader............ 2017 and beyond.................... Quality leadership must be the way forward
    • Andy are you saying the players never had any interest in removing the central executive?

      • bugs: Let me be fas and outta place and answer for Andy.  All the players wanted was their MONEY. But then a couple WANNABE LEADERS decided that this might be a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. So they decided to put a hurried plan in place (complete with cabinet) to remove the executive in the heat of the moment.

        You are a man with ears on the ground so I am sure that you heard the real inside story of how events unraveled.

        But I still maintain that the quest for leadership should add some cyber tentacles like an online petition and a website dedicated to attacking Keith Diaz and calling out the Ministers of Government to take action -- TWENTY FOUR SEVEN.

        Man oh Man. If dem UPPM hire me as a consultant in that arena I am sure to MAKE PAN TRINBAGO GREAT AGAIN!!!

  • HEY GUY'S; talking DO NOT get anything DONE, DOING DOES...

  • It's the Police fault. Once the checks started to bounce and there is a record of it in the papers Someone should have been arrested.

  • We have to BIG-UP the few Pan People that stood up with Dane and Gregory, good job.

    • Cecil: Allyuh celebrating a FAILED COUP as if it is a VICTORY. I don't understand that. Strategic political errors were made because people were too quick to claim VICTORY. Now everybody within that organization is mad at each other for the failure. It is not just the thousands of supporters who were left disappointed.

      Yuh ever watch an AMERICAN FOOTBALL game where a defender intercepts or picks up a fumble and he starts running all alone towards the END ZONE and he get so excited about scoring the touchdown and celebrating the score that he tosses the ball away one step before he crosses the goal line and all the glory turns to agony in a split second. That is what happened with the UPPM. One person got too excited and talked out of turn and the whole effort to unseat KEITH DIAZ and FORTEAU crashed.

      Don't know how you guys can praise that effort!

  • We must remember how this whole thing came about, It was from a post Dane Gulston made on facebook about pan people not being paid for 2016 panorama, he was told that he should lead the fight and he accepted, he should be given props for what he did, he did not ask to lead anything.

    It was after the meeting in All Stars pan yard they started calling for removal of the PT executive and I believe it was Boogsie that call for a protest at PT headquarters.

    In defense of this group [UTTM] I would say they came about in 3 or 4 days, and the results show you what happens if you don't have long term planning.

    Everything about pan will continue suffer in the Mecca until pan people unite and stand .
