THE SUGGESTION made by Pan Trinbago president Beverly Ramsey-Moore that the children's Carnival should be moved to make way for holding only the Panorama competition at the Queen’s Park Savannah on Carnival Saturday was tactless and surprising.
The National Carnival Commission (NCC) and the organisers of the festival should be open to change. Anything that can improve the festival going forward should be embraced, not resisted. Without advancements, our Carnival, which is only now getting back on its feet after the interregnum of the pandemic, will be left behind. But change should not be at the sacrifice of one key element over the other.
While Ms Ramsey-Moore was right on Saturday to be frustrated by the late start of the Panorama final, the blame for this should not be placed on the Junior Parade of Bands. She attributed this to a “security sweep” that had to be done of the venue after the parade.

Neither BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE nor GYPSY could construct a proper sentence in ENGLISH --their native language -- yet they are running MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR corporations in TRINIDAD because of POLITICAL CONNECTIONS.
How in the hell can we move forward with imbeciles like that RUNNING THE CARNIVAL?
I give up!!!
