Keith Diaz (Pan Trinbago):
“It is a very interesting budget. Certain mention was made of culture, but I haven’t seen the yellow book to know how much has been allocated to the national instrument. In a time of depression, culture has an important role to play in developing our nation, especially in terms of economics, and socially.
“Pan Trinbago is not the Pan Trinbago of yesteryear. We are now a business-driven enterprise and we have a number of projects that we would like to partner with the Government on. For instance, there’s the pan lotto, the pan factory and Panvesco which is run by Clary Benn. We have not been waiting for the Government to give a handout but we have been proactive in identifying a number of business projects that we need the Government’s participation in. Coming out of what the Prime Minister said, we, as an organisation, have to get up and work and strive towards self-sufficiency.”
