Pan Trinbago secretary Richard Forteau said on Tuesday that he and fellow members of the central executive are concerned about defending the organisation’s constitution and not about power grabbing. At a press conference called by him at the VIP Lounge, Queen’s Park Savannah, Forteau said those in the organisation who didn’t want to abide by it will have to suffer the consequences legally.
He alleged that last two meetings chaired by their president Keith Diaz were unconstitutionally held. Referring to several challenges faced by the organisation in the last few years, Forteau said the most recent was an attempt by internal forces looking to grab power by any means. “There are calls for elections, but the constitution is clear on that process.” He read parts of the constitution to support what he was saying. Asked whether his press conference on Tuesday was in keeping with their constitution, since it was called without Diaz’s knowledge, Forteau couldn’t give a direct answer. He was also asked why certain members of the executive are afraid of an early election, but he responded by quoting more sections of the constitution.
Chairman of the Northern Region Gerard Mendez told Newsday: “This press conference is more evidence that the central executive has collapsed in office. The membership has no confidence in the central executive, inclusive of Diaz and the five members here who held this conference. The membership wants them out of office. This is a naked act of desperation of five people who know that the membership wants this election brought forward to deal with the central executive, and they are trying hell hard to stay in office until October.”
It was for this reason and and moreso, the breakdown of management, that a petition was sent to Pan Trinbago on March 29, calling for the holding of an Extraordinary Meeting.

But NOBODY could move them.
NOBODY doh want TRUMP either -- but they can't move him.
THAT OLD GANGSTA CREW will NEVER GIVE UP POWER in our lifetime unless LUCAS and DOLLY step in (for the GOOD OF PAN) and take some drastic legislative action. And that they CANNOT do because the GENERAL ELECTIONS is only two years away.
And maybe in truth and in fact there are only a handful of people who don't really want them and making noise like THE CIP. When election time come (if election time come) is only then we will know who the PAN MEN WANT.
We better off talking about the TORONTO RAPTORS and the playoffs -- I am curious to see how far they get this year.
This is best line you have written in a long,long time
"When election time come (if election time come) is only then we will know who the PAN MEN WANT."
Wellll,except for (if election time come) ....
Even though the Financial Advisor ( the real authority in this Executive) decided that Diaz is no longer useful,and therefore disposable,and has chosen the Mr Forteau as his new No.1 toy.......Yes! the others,are also his toys.
He does not write everyone else's script for them,and ironically that now includes Diaz who has now appreciated the numerous warnings,that he was sitting within striking distance of Brutus and his crew.
I tired tell Mr. Claude the glass not half empty, it is Half full.......and every time i tell him that, them fellas keep losing ground.
The CIP is not an ordinary group. We are a group of extraordinary people, lead by a lil half indian boy. lol
This was just plan A. we have from A to Z.
doh beat up.
word is the president lock down offices and confiscate all cheque books.
the photo faction made a report the the police.
they now trying to put the president in handcuff.
George Lindsay take it from here.
'Quil, the CEO rescued the cheques books?
Whey lawyer money coming from?
Seems like the Financial Advisor have to pass the hat around,ah wonder if dem fellas go donate some ah they hefty 2018 remunerations.
"We better off talking about the TORONTO RAPTORS and the playoffs -- I am curious to see how far they get this year."
Claude that's how opioids work....people choose to get their jones with them,rather than what's better for them.
GERARD MENDEZ: "This is a naked act of desperation of five people who know that the membership wants this election brought forward to deal with the central executive, and they are trying hell hard to stay in office until October."
Gerard Mendez wants the election brought forward so that he could become the NEW HIGH MAN in PAN TRINBAGO, Easy so!!! Well, not so easy with the desperate FORTEAU and SHEPERD and JOSEPH!!!
Furthermore, they are NOT "trying hell hard to stay in office until October" since that is already GUARANTEED.
With WEAK OPPOSITION like that -- ah better join the FORTEAU CLAN and see if I could get the RIGHTS to produce a GREATEST HITS PANORAMA CD.
Clearly, LOYALTY is NOT A FACTOR in this ELECTION CAMPAIGN. Look how FORTEAU and SHEPERD stab THE RIGHT HONOURBALE KEITH DIAZ IN THE BACK.
Sorry, Aquil!!! Ah jumping on the FORTEAU SHIP.
Forteau playing ah real NICE HAND!!!
Check this out: Forteau said it should have been 179 and not the 120 bands the petition was signed by, since according to Forteau, there are 298 registered bands in Pan Trinbago. Forteau added, given that Pan Trinbago was actually owing bands outstanding fees, it makes all registered bands financial.
How allyuh like that LAST SENTENCE?
Keith Diaz no longer has CONTROL OF THE MONEY. So Forteau can take the PAN MEN MONEY (the little that is remaining) and hire a good attorney and tie THE CIP and DIAZ up in the courts for the next year or two. And allyuh know once PANORAMA start approaching -- politics have to take a back seat.
If we had a REAL MINISTER OF CULTURE she would have shown some MUSCLE long time ago!!!
You need an update script Claude,that's no longer the story line.
