GARY CARDINEZ - Newsday
Just four months before the Merry Monarch parades the streets for Carnival 2018, the National Carnival Commission (NCC) is without a board. As of Wednesday, the term of the last board came to an end.
Headed by Kenny DeSilva, that board has been at constant loggerheads with the three Carnival interest groups. Under an act of Parliament (No 9 of 1991) the NCC is mandated to make Carnival a viable national, cultural and commercial enterprise. The NCC must also provide necessary managerial and organsational infrastructure for efficient and effective presentation and marketing of the cultural products of Carnival.
The board must consist of nine people, the first three being a representative from the steelband movement (Pan Trinbago), one from the Carnival bands (NCBA) and the other from the calypsonians organisation (TUCO).
