Ajamu Nyomba posted a discussionWhere is the MOU??
Does anyone have the MOU between the NCC and Pan Trinbago (Keith Diaz)?From the information available it seems as though the NCC will be deducting 20% of the government's subvention to Pan Trinbago. What a travesty!Pan players should never agree to this.This may be a good reason to boycott Panorama 2019!See More
