Perhaps Deeks, but Hunt is de ONLY MoS in recent memory to stand up to Jack. Yet the public never forgive him fuh putting dey England friendly in jeopardy, fuh not caring about "ghetto youth" and fuh ah host of other meaningless minor maladies.

And you being foolish to ignore what MEP's actually saying in yuh haste to rush in and talk about Manning.
You are being more foolish to assume that I dont know what MEP is actually saying
In your haste to call me a jackass, defend MEP and ask me if I understand English you made the assumption that I ignored what MEP really said. Why not tell me what I ignored since you think you know
You are being more foolish to assume that I dont know what MEP is actually saying
Jackass... I said you were being foolish to ignore it, I made no assumptions about what you know from what you don't know. Do you have a problem with Engish?

Good Guvahment, bess Minista.
..and what was his point from that post ?..I read the post for what it is...and like I said he was being naive to think that Hunt was the main reason why people voted against Manning..In your haste to call me a jackass, defend MEP and ask me if I understand English you made the assumption that I ignored what MEP really said. Why not tell me what I ignored since you think you know
You could continue playing smart with foolish if yuh want, but I don't have to assume anything, the fact that you didn't address his point in favor of some other minor non-issue is self-evident.
..and what was his point from that post ?..I read the post for what it is...and like I said he was being naive to think that Hunt was the main reason why people voted against Manning..
Now you must have read his post from an angle that would have suit your political point of view and felt my response did not agree with your angle of understanding....and yes you did assume, your posts are there to prove it

As for upright and decent, he should be the last to speak, everyone in de gayelle know when his wife came in to cuss when she found out he was cheating with Loa anna, and look where she is today, he ent have no shame, men like Anil have no model character, move on.

Good... now we just waiting fuh de article on the TTFF. All de talk of accountability and transparency in decision making and right hand eh know what left hand doing easily falling in Jack camp too.

Leave de man. He say the concerts will fund upkeep of the stadia. So mash it up, to fix it back. Good logic. ;)

I actually doh have too much of an issue with this one to be honest... there is sound logic in it. Hopefully there has been some sort of cost/benefit analysis which then allowed for a determination that damage to the field would more than be offset by the revenue. Ideally the concerts wouldn't take place during football season, but fete and Carnival ent stopping fuh nobody. What they need to do is to try and limit the damage as much as possible.

Statement begins with "Hopefully". Confidence would be "I sure"...
To be hopeful in this very arena is to assert way too much confidence in these folks
Anil was on I95.5 fm this morning repeating what was reported in the papers and they called Gary after and he debunk everything Anil say. Dais a summary of the mornings proceedings. Ah too tired and fed up to go into details.....

“I have seen some inefficiencies in the TTFF and we are in consultation with them to strengthen those administrative gaps.” Works and Transport Minister Jack Austin Warner, a senior FIFA vice- president, is also special adviser to the TTFF.

This thing has opened my eyes,look at the kind of money being spent to provide and upgrade sporting facilities in the country and people still complaining about venues to play games and practice/train etc etc countries like Grenada,Haiti,Guyana etc don't even have one and puts in descent performances in all sports,at least they compete,what are we producing with all of this?what do we have to show for the kind of money we spend,we still have to look for foreign assistance,it's money money money,money can't buy us results,we have everything and still can't get results.
What is it we want T&T?why are we allowing money to change who we once were?that desire to work hard for what we want,that love for our people and country,the passion we had when we put on that Red White and Black uniform,win, loose or draw we still felt like winners,not only Football but all sports was the same mentality.Something got to change my people,it's nothing any one person can do,we all know what it is but it have to be done as a nation,it's not about i or you but us yes us,i keep hearing a lot of alyu Trinis it seems some of us are only Trinis when it suits us.

Anil comes under fire
By: Shaliza Hassanali (Guardian).
The Congress of the People’s (COP) four members in the race for leadership of the party came under pressure from each other and party supporters on Friday night. The party held a joint platform meeting for its candidates—Anil Roberts, Prakash Ramadhar, Vernon De Lima and Nalini Dial—at the Arima Government Primary School after they discussed the topic: “COP’s role in the People’s Partnership.” During the meeting there was a no-barred session where candidates were allowed to question each other on any topic. The moderator was Dr Indira Rampersad.
The members questioned Roberts if Jack Warner, Sadiq Baksh and Gerard Hadeed were funding his campaign and if the COP was up for sale. Roberts said thousands of COP supporters were rallying behind him to bring home victory and that, “Warner is a UNC and UNC has no business in the COP election.” Roberts was also questioned about being “very critical of Dookeran” and now singing his praises. Roberts denied saying anything adverse in public about Dookeran, insisting that “it’s just a rumour and old politics.” De Lima waded into Roberts, asking why he did not attend national council meetings.
“Since you became vice chairman I have not received one invitation to any meeting. The leadership has not been performing for the membership,” Roberts replied. Roberts was also questioned by Dial about whether he had regrets about the Nicki Minaj concert. “Yes I had regrets. The population would not understand that anyone who would spend $876,000 on a concert has to be in St Ann’s. What it meant that we as a people must respect our local food, culture, wear and products through ‘Localise It’.” Roberts said ordinarily to host a concert of that nature would have cost the country $3.4 million.
Clearly, most of the questions were fired at Roberts. Ramadhar was asked: “Can you stand up to Jack Warner?” “History has shown that I have stood up against the hardest and strongest. I am afraid of no man or woman. When you have right on your side you can stand up for anything.” Asked what were some of the leadership challenges she faced, Dial answered:
“I always have to face sexual harassment. My bosses always come on to me,” causing COP members to erupt in uncontrollable laughter. Turning to Dial, Roberts told her she was a known animal lover and activist. “When Our Worship the Mayor of Arima sat on a donkey, why didn’t you say that this was not appropriate?” Due to the cheers and jeers of members, Dial asked Roberts to repeat the question, which he refused. De Lima had to appeal for order, stating that COP was a party of discipline.

Scounting for talent
As part of the Ministry's plans for football, Roberts also announced that a national consultation on football will be held on November 28 at the Cascadia Hotel from 9 a.m.
"Anybody who has ideas on the way forward for football in Trinidad and Tobago will be invited to present their ideas," Roberts said.
He urged those interested to send their written proposals to the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs, c/o Natasha Nunez, communication specialist, so that briefs will be received before the consultation.
The Minister said participants at the consultation will also be given five minutes to speak at the event.
The Ministry of Sport will then collate the proposals and put forward recommendations to the relevant football agencies.
Thats actually a good idea :beermug:Scounting for talent

What we should do is have a thread just to collate people raw ideas on this then have a local rep/reps be the messengers at the conference.
This is the exact thing when men like Flex and Feliziano et al was putting together the framework for the supporters club in 2006 was making provisions for. We complain they dont want to hear the wisdom in this forum, this is the chance to at least get some air-time.
It sound like before you get your 5 mins in the sun, you hadda submit your proposals in writing to Nunes before hand.
Can a moderator start the pinned thread?
Classless and obscene.who or what ? just askin since it have so many conflicting issues in the report, info available and subsequent denial......it kinda hard to tell where u fall on this issue with that answer
ANIL: I’LL QUIT
Roberts - Invest in sports tourism.
By Miranda La Rose (Newsday).
COULD an estimated $800 million investment in a Sporting Village at Couva to house high performance sporting venues, and upgraded stadiums across the country for elite athletes be the catalyst for sport tourism?
Sports Minister Anil Roberts, the brain behind the Sports Village told Business Day recently Friday that once the projects – a $195- national aquatic centre, a $200million-cycling velodrome/ BMX Olympic park with indoor wooden track and training track, and a $200-million tennis centre with a centre court capacity of 2,000, all have the potential to attract world class athletes for exhibition matches and tournaments.
............When visitors come to TT, they come for either business and/or pleasure as stated on the immigration form. Once introduced, Roberts said, “I could go to immigration and ask how many visitors came for sport in 2014, so that I could go to the Finance Minister and say listen, I brought in 24,000 sport tourists and they have contributed so much to the country’s GDP, and we have justified our investments.”

Boy, I could only shake my head. If that is the alleged man on that tape, I doh know what to say. Kamla's cabinet real misbehave for a single term, and it ain't even done yet. Man drunk and touching flight attendant inappropriately on plan, man abusing they girlfriend, man smoking weed with whores.....

:frustrated: There's no way Kamla can keep him on staff after this
What really going on in this place boy...We need independent investigative bodies to look closely at any electoral candidates before their names appear on ballot papers. Too many criminals sitting in parliament bold face.
Man get caught a la sterling. Can't be real or true. Tha is ah actor.

in all fairness, things like this happened in the past. But the past did not have youtube.
what timing?
what timing? if you are implying that it has to do with PNM it would have been more feasible to have released it before PNM internal elections...so what exactly are you saying?
what timing? if you are implying that it has to do with PNM it would have been more feasible to have released it before PNM internal elections...so what exactly are you saying?
Actually, the opposite. It is possible (but not likely at this precise moment) that an election may result from the shock waves following this scandal. Before the PNM can fight an election, they would need to settle their internal leadership elections. This, alongside the jokey section 34 confession by Volney creates huge pressure for Kamla.
Another reason for the timing could be the cutting off of the Life Sport funding, allegedly to "community leaders".
A third theory could be to distract attention from the so called professional hit on Dana Seetahal.
Whatever the reason, the existence of this video has been semi-public knowledge for over a year, so it's been released at this moment for a specific purpose.

Actually, the opposite. It is possible (but not likely at this precise moment) that an election may result from the shock waves following this scandal. Before the PNM can fight an election, they would need to settle their internal leadership elections. This, alongside the jokey section 34 confession by Volney creates huge pressure for Kamla.
Another reason for the timing could be the cutting off of the Life Sport funding, allegedly to "community leaders".
A third theory could be to distract attention from the so called professional hit on Dana Seetahal.
Whatever the reason, the existence of this video has been semi-public knowledge for over a year, so it's been released at this moment for a specific purpose.
That makes sense. I see where you're coming from but this current gov't WILL NEVER call an election while there is still money in the treasury not with their "is we time" mentality. While it deflects are they willing to stand another scandal then again maybe that is what they want so they can declare a semi-permanent SOE so elections can never be called.
what happen to all of the above?
Maxg and Swimma will he be allowed back at swim meets as Bovell coach?
Maxg and Swimma will he be allowed back at swim meets as Bovell coach?I think that would be up to Bovell. Especially as no charges has been laid. Bovell probably know the nature of the beast long time. Sounds like "plenty pardners " do. Is The swimmer getting tested, not the coach.

Persad-Bissessar said she would only make a decision on Roberts’ political future with the party after carefully examining the existing evidence. “A decision must be made in the national interest, I will make it without fear and without favour,” she said. “But even as I am looking at this, I find it very, very strange, they say passing strange that this was a video over a year and a half ago. The PNM was saying that they had this video and they talking about it a year and a half ago.
“I am the editor of an annual magazine, Cre Ole - The Guide to Dining in Trinidad and Tobago. The 2012 edition was published in late December of 2011, effectively January 2012. I have looked at the video and can state firmly that the magazine on which the substance in the video footage was packaged was the 2012 issue of Cre Ole. “Another copy of the same magazine is also in plain view on the video. The magazine publisher also recognises the magazine.
“However, useful or helpful it might be to anyone, it is simply untrue to say the events took place before 2012.”
She explained there was no provision in the COP’s constitution which speaks to suspension but a new constitution has been drafted which will include expulsion.
Seepersad-Bachan questioned why Roberts was training his guns on her when it was an executive decision.
“It was a national executive decision, not a decision of Carolyn Seepersad. I am not the only member of the team,” said Seepersad-Bachan.
$34M FOR NO WORK
By NEWSDAY REPORTER
THE LIFE SPORT Programme continues to be embroiled in corruption allegations with further revelation yesterday that a whopping $34 million was paid to a contractor for the provision of educational training services in Math, English and Modern Technology with a focus on numeracy and literacy, but such training to persons in the programme was never done.
So he resign yet?
Rowley said there were persons in Persad-Bissessar’s Cabinet who were “untouchable” because they are holding secrets for the Prime Minister
http://www.trinidadexpress.com/news/Rowley-Sport-Minister-should-be-fired-for-this-scandal-268681882.html
Trinidad is a joke...that's all I have to say. That oil and gas money will run out one day.
Doh fire him YET. Leave him as cannon fodder.Fixed it for you!
so Jack and Anil not bosom buddies again ;DComical isn't it? Tommy Joseph, Spragalang, Fabien and crew can have a field day with this....
Rupert Griffith new minister of sport. Never knew him to have any inclination for sports.
Rupert Griffith new minister of sport. Never knew him to have any inclination for sports.
that is the same as Kamla Persaud Bissesar having no inclination towards leadership
This Griffith have a clue bout sports? Not saying that there isn't a business aspect to it, but familiarity with the business that is sport would be useful to a sports minister.
as far as I know Griffith knows nothing about sports and his appointment baffles me. He had a brother that passed away who was a very good athlete and I believe got a schol to a US University. But as you can see Griffith is always the man the PM shuffles around when she has nobody. How many ministries he has worked in in the past 4 years?
How is Roberts resignation affect Malabar FC?
I hope the new Sports Minister is one who is willing to work with the different Sport administrations in getting things done with transparency and accountability so our athletes will benefit in the long run.. We've had some tough times with the previous two Ministers
I have to admire Daniell's email raising concerns. At that point, he was behaving as any proud citizen should do when uncovering a crass waste of taxpayers money.
Had he moved forward with his ultimatum of withdrawing, he would have been in a key position to carefully observe his replacement contractor and expose the weaknesses in the programme.
However, it appears that his morals may have evaporated. If he truly wanted to make a "personal contribution to my country, Trinidad and Tobago, at this critical time." surely he could have banked the $34 million and then exposed the LifeSport programme earlier and returned the money.
Finally, I find this statement amazing :it is a non-issue because the only way under a contract anything is recoverable is if the other party is in default. There was never a single letter of complaint that I was in default of this contract. Not even a phone call,” he had said.
I wonder if that could be that the people who were charged with monitoring Daniell's work were even aware that he had been paid? After all, there was no infrastructure in place and how could you attend a class to monitor the delivery if there never was a class taking place?
Now, I understand what he means here. It's like you get a contract to paint white lines on the highway once it is built. But if the highway isn't built, you can't paint the white lines. So, it's not you who caused the default, but you never carried out the work. Also, you may have recruited people and sent them on highway painting courses etc, so you may have incurred costs.
But I am fairly sure there is (or certainly should be) a clause that states that you only get paid upon completion of contract or fazes thereof.
Good to see you back Sugar.
It seems to me that the Ebeam contract was poorly written. If the agreement was to pay in two tranches of $17 million, there should have been provision to review the work completed in phase one before phase two was released.----------------------------------------
There should also have been a description of minimum targets achieved at each stage with a proviso that should the minimum requirements not be achieved that no more funds would be released until has one is signed off as satisfactory or penalty rebates would be introduced.
You cannot just agree to give a company $34 million without any checks and balances and without any penalty clauses to guard against non delivery. If Ebeam's contract is legally water tight, I don't blame Daniell for keeping the money, as the blame lies with the managers who put together the contract, though, morally, I could not do the same.
What ah backward place.
We keep begging and relying on sponsorship ; this is a national team frig whey the FIFA funding? Whey the government funding? Whey the LIfe Sport funding?
Sometimes we spend all we time watering stones when we ought to water the flowers. Look how much money wasted in so called sports program Shame shame shame
Them little islands laughing - or is there more to it?
Is Charles running a local squad and anther man running a renegade squad?
These are the people that they put into administration in Trinidad. Anyone surprised of the direction that country is headed? Book sense and a lack of pragmatism and lack of controls is the norm down there.
The DPP needs to apply to the Court for an injunction to freeze the funds in Daniell's account until this matter is settled.

But I thought that legally, Ebeam were entitled to be paid? While we all would think it morally wrong, it would appear that the contract was adhered to by Ebeam and the fact that they were willing to do the work but were unable due to poor organisation seems to be their defence which apparently upheld by LifeSport lawyers. Could an injunction be issued in that scenario?
And what if the funds are no longer in his account (i.e. they've been placed in different investment vehicles like stocks or mutual funds, or used to purchase physical assets like buildings or land)? Is that option still possible?

Everywhere you look it's friends appointing friends and family. To be fair, I don't blame the board members, I blame the people who appointed them. Then again, I'm not sure who could be appointed to the board who has the necessary qualifications as well as political neutrality. We need to rethink the appointment to boards of public companies.
I guess every country has ambassadors and board chairmen who are selected because they assisted the ruling party in some way, but the actual board should be appointed on merit.

Problem is the cleaning house that occurs on the changing of regimes. I could understand bringing in some key strategic heads, but the purging is unnecessary, and really wreaks of nepotism and cronyism. It leads to a lack of continuity of initiatives and wastage, as projects are abandoned while in process. That country just luck it has a little oil.

Ebeam is "entitled to be paid" why... because the Ebeam founder said so? There are many reasons why a contract would not be enforceable or why performance would be excused. "Default", as suggested by the non-lawyer/bonus-baby Mr. Daniell, is just one of those reasons. There needs to be a proper inquiry into the formation of the contract in the first place, were proper procurement procedures adhered to and whether those who signed off had the proper authority to do so, for instance. Even from casually observing at a distance I picked up on one nugget that suggested that neither of the $17m payments should have been made without Parliamentary authority. Just because something is published in the press, or repeated ad nauseaum doesn't necessarily gives it legs or makes it gospel.

That's because the authorities in T&T are not willing to get things done in a bi partisan manner. instead there is a desire to say "we are the ones who is responsible for this piece of success. We the PNM, we the UNC do that for Sports in T&T is the rhetoric. Therefore it's expected they will clean house once coming into power because they want all praise to any success. This has been nature of how things get done or don't get done for a long time.
I don't know about the press etc, but my question concerns these statements:
Roberts produced a letter from JD Sellier and Company, dated February 17, 2014, written by attorney Anja Dass, which stated that SporTT was obligated under the contract to issue the remaining $17 million to EBeam.
The letter was copied to JD Sellier’s attorney Dennis Gurley and SporTT’s head legal, attorney Lisa Solom
As you would know from past conversations, I cannot understand how this company could keep not only the first tranche, but then, apparently after taking legal advice, a second tranche. I mean, the point of obtaining expert legal advice is to ascertain your options and, again, it appears that the only option was to pay the money.
My non legal mind could drive holes through that contract, but I cannot assume because things are wrong, they are not legal. That's where your expertise lies. God knows, we need to recover the money, but from the information in the published statements, how likely is that?
The DPP needs to apply to the Court for an injunction to freeze the funds in Daniell's account until this matter is settled.
I agree on some levels. Certainly, the civil service should remain intact. However, a new government means a new Minister and they may not feel that their staff is up to the job. Just like a new coach wants to bring his own assistant, trainer, kit man etc, a new minister may want key people around him.
But appointments to boards should be merit based as much as possible.

The "staff" you're referring to is the staff of the respective Ministry, headed by the Permanent Secretary. The word "permanent" is there for a reason. It's not to be interpreted in a literal sense, but it rightly suggests that the office holder cannot be removed by caprice or fiat. This is (I believe) why a public service commission is in place. So the Minister could 'feel' whatever he wants, but the fact remains that the PS is the one holding down the ship on a day to day, year to year and administration to administration basis.
There was an excellent Radio 4 programme about the importance of the Civil Service called "In Defence of Bureaucracy" that you should both check out; http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01r0g45 isn't up on iplayer anymore but it was really good. Totally turned my opinion around on the Civil Service and Bureaucracy - talking about how essential it is to democracies for roughly the reasons you two are talking about

If all attorneys were always right we'd put courts out of business. The point of the matter is that we don't know for fact that he was entitled to the payment, or that he is now entitled to keep the payment. Every bit of advice given to a client is a legal opinion. Opinions often conflict. The conflict needs to be resolved by a court, hence the bolded:QuoteThe DPP needs to apply to the Court for an injunction to freeze the funds in Daniell's account until this matter is settled.
I fully agree regarding the P.S., although I would imagine that a Minister can approach the PSC if he feels that the P.S. is not effective (for example, Mr Creed being apparently absent for several months). But I would imagine that a Minster may be able to review staff performance with a P.S. and convey his dissatisfaction with a particular person, if he chose. Of course, the P.S. may protect that person and keep him on board. Permanent Secretaries and their management teams are the people who often need to "manage up" to prevent Ministers from not only embarrassing themselves but also the government and nation. Which is why LifeSport, to me, is so puzzling.
Whenever I think of a permanent secretary, I also recall the classic BBC series "Yes Minister" which, though very funny, shows the work carried out by permanent secretaries.
Ministry of Sports to Thomas: "What you talking bout Willis"
Just an interesting read how worthless these politicians are, they fulling their pockets and the people who give they liver for their country paying the price.
Hopefully, we get someone really good to run the MoS, maybe a past athletics would be good.

HOMELESS AFTER GLASGOW
By JONATHAN RAMNANANSINGH (NEWSDAY)

Meanwhile, Opposition leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar yesterday said if she were in charge someone would have been fired.
“We are experiencing and we are seeing the worst level of waste, corruption and mismanagement in the country’s history. That is exactly what is taking place under this Government,” Persad-Bissessar said during a press conference at her Charles Street, Port-of-Spain office.
She said if she were the prime minister “some heads would have definitely rolled, someone would have been fired.”
Persad-Bissessar said the Rowley-led Government had collapsed “and therefore if we have to call for the PM to fire somebody, the PM must first stop the vacationing and must now vacate. He must now fire himself.”
