now POLITICAL- carifesta in shambles

CARIFIASCO

Politricks have dominated the staging of CARIFESTA in Trinidad & Tobago. The blame game is in full swing as those straddled with the responsibility of managing have clearly demonstrated their inability and lack of professionalism.

This is not totally unexpected judging from previous coverage in the recent past by RRR.

Reports of censorship, lack of accommodation, and disorganisation highlight the staging of this regional event. Facilities (many uncompleted) are woefully unacceptable as participants have complained that their needs are not being met.There are several reliable reports that even artwork have been damaged. Bureaucracy also hampered delivery of the delegates and works to venues.The planned bookfair have clearly not catered for local or visiting vendors. National flags of represented islands have not be appropriately displayed.

Delegates are daily complaining of the lack of provision. Clearly the basic tenents of being a good host has been flouted. Caribbean Traditions have been woefully neglected for incompetent political pomposity.

May the ancestors provide those with wisdom
to influence this sad development...
