Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - ...Several panmen walked out of the meeting, expressing their displeasure over the situation and even called for Diaz’s resignation as leader of the steelband body.
Pan player Dane Gulston said panmen were owed money and despite a promise to have some of the outstanding money paid, there was no guarantee of Panorama next year. He said the Pan Trinbago executive must “shape up or ship out.”
Manager of Desperadoes, Panorama champions for 2016, Curtis Edwards said his band was in support of the proposed Panorama boycott if the money issue was not settled. “Time for talk done. It is strictly no Panorama,” he said.

tHE QUESTION TO THIS SITUATION IS, WHY HAS TIS HAPPENED?. How is it that this mis management of funds had been in the forefront for so long and not seen by Pan Players and member bands? When you look back at what was said by the New Visionaries, all has come to pass.
Mis Management of monies of the People of Trinidad and Tobago
Lack of Accountability
Lack of Transparency by the Executive.
No Integrity
Lack of Vision for the Improvement of the Pan Body in T&T.
The Pan Fraternity must demand that a FORENSIC AUDIT be done, in order to RIGHT this WRONG, and based on the results of this audit. appropriate action should be taken according to the constitution of PT.,
Way to go my brothers Stand up for your Rights.
