ANIUSTO ALVES - Trinidad Guardian
President of Pan Trinbago Beverley Ramsey-Moore said it is the government that commissioned the audit on the steelband body and they should go after those who left the association in financial ruin.
“Pan Trinbago did not commission the audit it was the Ministry of Community Development and the Arts and I would be really happy if they went after them. They left us in a bad situation,” she told the Sunday Guardian in a telephone interviewer.
Ramsey-Moore, who spoke candidly about the audit on Pan Trinbago by Ernst and Young (EY) which was laid in Parliament in April last year, denied claims that she wanted to “bury the report” and move on.
“If it’s anybody that would want to expose the last Pan Trinbago management team it would have been me. They made me persona non grata. I told them we are now recovering from a narrative of an organization involved in putting money in their pockets and they were removed and the entire slate clean,” she explained.

But Mrs Ramsey-Moore
You did bury the report. And you did move on.
And now you have buried the report of your first year in office.
You can never undo this.

Look: EARL RICHARDS and CECIL HINKSON and BERTEL GITTENS and a BUNCH OF OTHERS really like and SUPPORT BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE. So it does not matter what she does -- they will always support her. And that is acceptable with me -- yuh like who yuh like!!!
But as long as BEVERLEY lets the TOBAGO PENCHANT for SECRECY sway her decisions (and all the YES MEN around her are not bold to enough to give her BETTER DIRECTION) she will continue to STEP IN IT.
This whole issue could have been PUT TO BED nine months ago; instead she kept it A BIG SECRET. Imagine THE TT GOVERNMENT put the report up on the INTERNET for the WHOLE WIDE WORLD TO SEE -- and BEVERLEY have it under LOCK AND COVER feeling that is she alone READ IT.
Today is PANORAMA SEMI FINALS and we should be DISCUSSING CRACKSHOTS and CORRUPTION in PANORAMA and the BEST ARRANGEMENTS and the JUDGING and how MERRYTONESTOTHEBONE finish SO LOW in the competition. Instead we discussing KEITH DIAZ and RICHARD FORTEAU and THE FORENSIC REPORT and the NEXT BIG SCANDAL with THE VEE PEE (well that MARK eh bus in the PUBLIC YET).
Gregory Lindsay: Stop PUSSYFOOTING AROUND and say what yuh have to say and leh we TURN THE PAGE and focus on how PAN TRINBAGO could start generating some money to CLEAR ALL THAT DEBT.
Ah still say that they should PRODUCE A GREATEST HITS PANORAMA CD and see how far we could go with that!!!
Anyway, all I care about today is that they put meh LIL STEELBAND (EDINBURG 500 ENSEMBLE) in the FINALS!!!

I am right here......much more to come....Electronic media payload later....stay tuned.
Dr. DeLight.....thank you
Bugs before these gangsters go to jail there is a long line of people, some real big fish ahead of them. Yuh remember the fellas with the airport?
Yea Cecil... We know Mario Sabga-Aboud said on CNN that he controls everything in Trinidad -
But we are talking about Pan Trinbago and Pan. We know who did it. We know when they did it. And we know who voted to keep them in office. Jail them.

That report should have stayed buried.
Cecil,
Your view is your view. I respect it even though I don't share it. There is no carpet deep enough or big enough to sweep this under. Facts!
You kidding me Cecil?
Very disappointing Cecil.
The gangstas have to go to jail. And the new administration needs to resign. They are clearly on the path to corruption and gansta-ism.
You cannot defend the indefensible..

"Ramsey-Moore said she read the report in its entirety and was disheartened by the state of Pan Trinbago and the wasteful and wild spending that took place under the last administration."
How could any reasonable person read that report and then describe such CORRUPTION, GREED and SKULLDUGGERY with terms like "wasteful and wild spending"?
Nice trick, Beverley!!! Pretending that you JUST READ THE REPORT when both you and ME have been sitting on that report for the LAST NINE MONTHS!!!
Anyway, GREGORY LINDSAY get COLD FEET and gone back in his SHELL (TIL ASH WEDNESDAY?) -- but MARK BASSANT working on a REAL BOMBSHELL ARTICLE ... so yuh not OFF THE HOOK as yet!!!
