What ever happen to the Genesis(G-Pan) project ?

Posted by Andre Williams on February 5, 2011 at 7:08am in Uncategorized

The Government spends millions of tax payers monies to develop the G-Pan. The Faculty of Engineering at UWI in Saint Augustine did the Studies and Research.

 

During the grand launching of the G-Pan by the former Prime Minister Patrick Manning statement were made about commercial sale of the G-Pan to recoup the investments and make the project profitable.

 

It is time we get serious of all these Steel Pan Initiatives and stop wasting tax payers dollars. WE NEED ANSWERS.

 

Maybe Professor Brian Copeland Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at UWI can give us some answer about the project.....

    This is an open Letter to our new Minister of Arts and Multiculturalism Mr Lincoln Douglas looking from the outside you seems to be passionate about our culture. The STEELPAN is the backbone off our culture and it is time the country recognized its potential in revenue earning. The G-Pan project is an investment by Government to diversify the economy. What is the hold-up ? the country wants to know.

    Since 2007 the National Steel Symphony Orchestra is using the G-Pans in concerts around the country and overseas concerts. The G-Pans is ready for manufacturing and boost T & T employment....

    There was an article in yesterday's Express related to how the PP Gov't hasn't paid the annuities on patents and trademarks related to the G-Pan. This after all the tax payers monies that went into R&D, and the hope that this new instrument would become the worldwide standard for Pan so that we could get back some royalty money, unlike what is happening now with the current spiderweb design. Like dey want to give away de rights or what???
