The Keith Mitchell-led New National Party (NNP) government has apparently taken over the running of the Grenada Steelband Association (GSA) following months of bickering between two warring factions.
THE NEW TODAY has obtained correspondence in which the Ministry of Culture headed by Senator Norland Cox is making move to put in place an Interim Committee to take charge of the body in which Jason Skeete was the last elected President of the association.
Sources told this newspaper that the move could be questionable as the association is a totally independent body outside the ambit of government.
However, government is known to give an annual subvention to the steelbands to facilitate their participation in the annual Spicemas festival in August.
