I have received an email from Mr. Arrindell which speaks about the disagreement between Pantrinbago’s PRO Mr. Michel Scobie Joseph and NCC Deputy Chairman, Mr. Ainsworth Mohammed. Thank you Mr. Arrindell for keeping us, the Pantrinbago members informed. Keep it coming because we the members have been in the dark for far too long.
This correspondence is an interesting one, but please allow me to disagree with your main point. You calling on Mr Ainsworth Mohammed to make a statement is not good protocol.
If any member/s of our Executive has proof that the Deputy Chairman Mr Ainsworth Mohammed lied in his WST post about what transpired at the meeting with Pantrinbago executives to discuss players’ remittances, that is cause for serious concern.
The Oct.30th 2016 AGM directed the Executive to ensure that Players Remittance remain at $1000.00, so our Executive was quite correct to demand that amount. That was only one of the demands in the Resolution, directing the Executive to take to the GROTT.
Again, if Mr Mohammed is not speaking the truth while accusing our Executive members of falsehoods, nothing less than a public apology would suffice.
I call on our Executive to DEMAND an immediate public retraction and apology.

You can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time.
I, Aquil Arrindell, was present at a forum where an executive member of Pan Trinbago was expressing his dissatisfaction with a post on social media which I was responsible for.
In the true Pan Trinbago style of manipulation, he misled my south-central brothers and sisters, by saying, “an ex-Pan Trinbago officer (referring to me) said these three names sell out pan players” but he did not report that my post actually said according to AINSWORTH MOHAMMED these are the names that sold out pan players. (Paraphrasing)
Here is the post.
(PICTURE TAKEN FROM WST SHOWING THE NAMES RICHARD FORTEAU, ANDREW SALVADOR AND DARREN SHEPPARD)
These are the names that Mr Ainsworth Mohammed said sold out pan players. Plz share. Shame on them. $500. Nah Nah Nah. They must resign now.
The executive officer then went on to explain that he had a personal conversation with Mr. Mohammed over the phone, ‘band leader to band leader’. As far as I gathered from his explanation, Mr Ainsworth Mohammed admitted he did not have his facts straight and he was wrong in his answer to Mr. Scobie. Well, I am saying, I do know what was said in the personal talk between the two gentlemen. What I do know is that the executive members lie to their membership repeatedly. So a report on personal conversations over the phone is not good enough. In fact, if Mr. Ainsworth Mohammed was wrong on the matter, he should apologize and he should do so on the social media site where he gave my upstanding executive members bad publicity.
So I am asking for Mr. Ainsworth Mohammed, to do the honourable thing and please apologize on WST if the report by that executive member is true.
In addition, can you tell us if pan players are getting $500 because of Pan Trinbago or because of NCC.

Aye Claude, we have to give the CIP a chance to get their groove so to speak, they have until October of 2018 to prove themselves.
Cecil: It eh really have no GLOBAL LEADERS OF PAN or no NEW VISIONARIES or no UPPM or no CIP yuh know. Is just the same set ah men trying to get the PAYCHECK and PERKS from PAN TRINBAGO. And frankly, the latest act of DISRESEPCT for the PAN MEN is the CIP pretending to be operating from some fountain of idealism when in fact they are just pimping the bands trying to win their votes to gain control of the GOVERNMENT MONEY.
I done with the PAN TRINBAGO backwoods politics. The CIP done over play their hand with me already!!!!
Allyuh give the pan players the $1000 and done the ole talk, why it is of late paying the players is always a problem? this is a blatant lack of respect.
