"Ques­tions are now be­ing raised about the Min­istry of Com­mu­ni­ty De­vel­op­ment, Cul­ture and the Arts' (MCD­CA) de­ci­sion to fork out $4,000 on a cake while min­istry work­ers claim they had been fac­ing prob­lems in the re­cent past to get ba­sic of­fice sup­plies.

The 32 x 40-inch sponge cake was dec­o­rat­ed with the CAR­IFES­TA Trinidad and To­ba­go lo­go and was the main fea­ture at the thank-you re­cep­tion for vol­un­teers host­ed by the min­istry on Thurs­day night at the Na­tion­al Acad­e­my for the Per­form­ing Arts."

  • A 4000 TTD (591 USD) cake for ALL of CARICOM is a drop in the ocean compared to the 350000 TTD  in roti that the politicians supported by The sitting Pan Trinbago President PAID for.

    Although challenged by the people buying the roti. The evidence told us something else. .

    Cheap politics with three (3) elections, not subpoenas, three (3) elections looming in the next two (2) years.

  • "The TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS I give to she

    Was to buy ah sandwich and ah COFFEE ..."

    So $4000 for a BIG CAKE like that seems REASONABLE!!!

    • Mr. Gonzales,

      1. The volume of a cylinder = πr2h.
      2. Substitute 6" for r and 16" for h for 120USD

      Compared to...

      1. The volume of a cube = l x w x h
      2. Substitute 40" for l and 30" for h and add 6" for h for 590 USD equivalent.

      Cake in San Francisco in America is exponentially cheaper than cake in Trinidad (quote this country bookie on that)

      Then ask the Pan Trinbago Whistleblower:

      • What is the average cost per cubic inch of each cake
      • Whether in Pan Trinbago's opinion the CARIFESTA cake is not value for money.
