"Minister of Culture, Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly, says Rosalind Gabriel was appointed to the National Carnival Commission (NCC) board because her organisation, the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival Bands Association (TTCBA) represents the majority of mas interests.
In a statement issued to Loop in response to a letter by David Lopez, president of the National Carnival Bands Association (NCBA), Dr Gadsby-Dolly said in keeping with the NCC Act, the association most representative of Carnival bands was chosen.
Lopez told Loop on Monday that he intends to file a judicial review into that process and also to clear the name of the NCBA which, he said, was tarnished by a newspaper article based on an audit conducted by Ernst and Young (EY)."
