No money owed to steelbands?

Culture Minister says, "No money owed to steelbands".

Does this global forum remember a group of people who called themselves The CIP, claiming to represent rank and file Panmen? Some of them protested outside The Halls of Justice for the subject reason.

  1. Are they no longer concerned about who is paying themselves? 
  2. Are they no longer concerned about which former executive member is owing the umbrella body.

They may have all lost their "Thongs", so they may be ashamed to show themselves "TUBELESS" (meaning without underwear, jockey shorts or panties, "draws" in T&T) in public in defense of Panmen nowadays.

  • Has the fertile pen of Aquil Arrindell gone dry, does he now like it so?
  • Protestors no longer want the financial audit released for public scrutiny?
  • Are you no longer interested in representing aggrieved Panmen cheated out of their remittance by consultants?

Shameless bunch of self-serving miscreants.

P.S. I feel sorry for Gregory Lindsay who may have been "shoved" to the front, quite likely because some of his opportunistic comrades may have seized the opportunity to take cover behind his enthusiasm.

What is the status of the philosophical Oswald Alexander, and his band?

  • FYI as Claude Gonzales may be suggesting, CIP frontline member Oswald Alexander too, may also be hiding behind the mask of Facebook, and avoiding this global forum. like Mr. Gonzales' blue eyed boy These are the men the world wants to hear from. Why have they all gone silent? What is going on at the pan factory In addition to the issue at hand, as it relates to the government replying to Wade Mark's contentious question, as in my mind I am sure that he does not have any interest in the the affairs of pan, and was fully aware of the fact that the former regime forfeited that deposit.

    I have always advocated the bankruptcy of the CIP, as the records on this forum will prove. They failed to disappoint. Where are many of the former advocates who pretended to represent the interest of Panmen? Are they now the recipients of "Freeness", and to hell with the body from which they sought support to unseat the Diaz/Forteau regime, "tuh arse with 2018 remittances"! Thank you CIP ,the rank and file deserves that treatment.
