The product must not be compromised. National Carnival Commission Chairman, Kenny De Silva says, no matter what’s happening with Pantrinbago, the show will go on as planned. NCC owes Pan Trinbago no money for 2016. They have been paid in full. Money has not been passed on to players.
He was speaking on Morning Edition today, where he revealed a few of the NCC’s plans for Carnival 2017. click to watch video

merrytonestothebone: De Silva say he doh want no B Class PAN in he PANORAMA; A CLASS only!. And De Silva say that he got to cater to a "certain culture" to maintain profits with the North Stand. (Ah put up ah video of the culture recently but the forumites proved to the color blind and Carnival Dizzy.) And De Siva say that nobody doh want to listen to 24 boring calypsoes. And De Silva say that Carnival in Port-of-Spain bound to dead because it have 58 Carnivals all over Trinidad, why waste time to come in town to see beads and bikinis and get rob by the town criminals.
This was a good interview though!!! Everybody on the forum should listen to it a couple times!!!
Tell De Silva I say I'm not surprised by anything that he he say...Towards the end of the interview he try to pelt a big stone at "politicians"...as if he is not one too...
We all know that he and the NCC waiting to to choose dey entrants and tell T&T...."Heh...take this Panorama...it is good and right that you do so"....to arse with the 70-odd Single Pan, the 60-odd Small and the 20-odd insignificant Medium bands....
In light of all that De Silva is now self I sticking to my guns....Crash Panorama 2017...deal with the sorefoot...or we will end up just like the Easter Islanders of the South Pacific...you just wait and see...
The show has to go on, panorama is just a part of the carnival expeience. Carnival is a money making monster that some people prepare for all year.
