Trinidad Guardian

A decision by a large group of PanTrinbago members to remove the organisation’s central executive is now set to be the subject of a legal challenge.

During a special meeting at the CWU Hall in Port-of-Spain on Tuesday evening, 130 members reportedly voted to remove the executive and establish a caretaker committee to oversee the organisation until elections can be held later this year. Only one member reportedly dissented.

The central executive consists of president Keith Diaz, secretary Richard Forteau, treasurer Andrew Salvador, PRO Michael Joseph, external relations officer Darren Sheppard and trustees Allan Augustus and Trevor Reid...

....In a telephone interview yesterday evening, however, Forteau strongly objected to the action and said his attorneys were currently working on a lawsuit to challenge it.

“It is a power grab. I am not about that. We are here to protect the constitution of the organisation, not to prop up an individual,” Forteau, who did not attend the meeting, said.

Forteau claimed that Diaz’s decision to call the meeting and one before it on March 27 was in breach of the organisation’s constitution, as such decisions fell under his (Forteau’s) remit.

They getting ah spoon of Claude in the morning, Cecil in the afternoon and RP in the evening. And ODW setting everything to music video and archives. "Chupid" can't find a comfort zone.

  • A message to Rolly Polly - Do Something for Pan

    Clearly the D'Photo is pissed at you. It might be in your benefit to provide the necessary info and details to the proper authorities to send D'Photo to jail immediately. Seeing as your days are numbered before you yourself go to jail, here is your chance to do something for Pan and take your 'Photo' with you.
