Trinidad and Tobago Newsday
Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - Pan Trinbago president Keith Diaz has told members he is stepping down from his position amidst the current chaos within the organisation. Speaking on the organisation’s status and condition, at a meeting held at the Communication Workers’ Union hall in Port of Spain last week, Diaz painted a very bleak picture. Newsday was told Diaz apologised for all the issues members had to endure especially in the last six months, saying the central executive had kept him in the dark on a number of decisions.
Aquil Arrindell, one of the principals of Concerned Citizens for Pan (CIP), cited one example Diaz gave in the meeting. He said Diaz had objected to a member of the executive being given a $95,000 payment as events manager. The rest of the executive opposed his view and Diaz walked out, after which secretary Forteau took charge and a decision was made to pay the money. Another bone of contention is the high fees being paid to a financial adviser – a non-elected position, while prize money and panmen’s stipends are still outstanding for Carnival this year.
“There is a total collapse in the management of the organisation. The president is not in control and the rest of the executive is doing what they want.”
Diaz became president of Pan Trinbago in 2009 The organisation’s central executive comprises Diaz, secretary Richard Forteau, treasurer Andrew Salvador, PRO Michael Joseph, external relations officer Darren Sheppard and trustees Allan Augustus and Trevor Reid.

"and members expect Forteau will adhere to the constitution of the organisation and call the special meeting within the next two weeks."
Forteau have all the POLITICAL POWER, now. He could pull a KEITH DIAZ and drag things out for the next three years -- COURTS included.
"If it is carried, an interim management committee will be set up to run Pan Trinbago until elections are called in 90 days thereafter, or in October as scheduled. The committee will comprise the four regional chairmen plus five other members selected by the members."
Same old group of RECYCLED SUSPECTS and people expecting PAN PROGRESS.
NOTHING BURGER STORY!!!
Nah man
Claude
The Aquil skilfully use the forum the exert maximum pressure on dem ganstas. Everyday folks all over the world talking about The Aquil post in the forum. They imploded. Now I have to give The Aquil ah big part in the movie.
bugs
may i suggest the name of the character ' lil half indian boy'
lol....
I read your script just now, and I was catastrophically offended that I did not get a part. so much so that I got an instant headache and fever. I do not know if there is anything you can say or do now, for all that physical and emotional trauma your movie script caused me an hour ago.
But I would welcome any effort.
Go ahead Mr. Bugs and try.
my health is in your hands....lol
