"Just why the re­port was left to gath­er dust by the Min­istry of Com­mu­ni­ty De­vel­op­ment need­ed to be ex­plained. It should not have been that year af­ter year, tax­pay­ers were forced to cough up mil­lions to up­keep the steel­band fra­ter­ni­ty and those charged with the re­spon­si­bil­i­ty of en­sur­ing that pan play­ers and the na­tion ben­e­fit­ed were in­stead ben­e­fit­ing from the largesse with­out a thought for the dif­fi­cult eco­nom­ic times the coun­try faced."

“We are now re­cov­er­ing from a nar­ra­tive of an or­gan­i­sa­tion in­volved in putting mon­ey in their pock­ets.” That’s the de­scrip­tion which cur­rent Pan Trin­ba­go chair Bev­er­ly Ram­sey-Moore put on the last ex­ec­u­tive in light of an au­dit re­port pub­lished ex­clu­sive­ly in the T&T Guardian yes­ter­day which ex­posed tales of fi­nan­cial mis­man­age­ment, mis­ap­pro­pri­a­tion of funds, fi­nan­cial ir­reg­u­lar­i­ties and glar­ing non-com­pli­ance.

The au­dit, con­duct­ed by Ernst and Young on Pan Trin­ba­go’s op­er­a­tions over five years, was hand­ed to the Min­istry of Com­mu­ni­ty De­vel­op­ment and the Arts in April 2018.

The re­port seemed to have been ig­nored de­spite the de­tails which paint­ed a gloomy pic­ture of Pan Trin­ba­go’s fi­nan­cial ac­tiv­i­ties....

THE BALL is in ROWLEY DOLLY court -- says THE GUARDIAN.

Hell, it has been in their court since APRIL 2018. But you cannot expect legal action DIAZ and FORTEAU because TWO ELECTIONS are AROUND THE CORNER. And no incumbent government is going to wash such dirty linens in the public at a critical political time like this.

From the day that BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE came into office, I have begged her to HOLD A PRESS CONFERENCE and CLEAR THE AIR. But her biggest concern was PROTECTING KEITH DIAZ because he helped her win THE ELECTION by directing all the SMALL BANDS to vote for her. Now, the DEEP-SIXING of the FORENSIC AUDIT has BLOWN UP IN HER FACE -- BIG TIME!!!

Will she LEARN A LESSON and come forward and CLEAR THE AIR on her VICE PRESIDENT?

I think not!!!

Is that BUBBLING BACCHANAL going to boil over into the PUBLIC DOMAIN soon enough?

I think so!!!

Come on BEVERLEY!!! TAKE IN FRONT BEFORE IN FRONT TAKE YOU -- AGAIN!!!
