Not so sure.

Previous PM did similar when she first got in office, "shaking up" the SIA and appointing Reshmi

Remember how that went. State ended up having to pay people significant amounts of $$ for wrongful dismissal.

Just because it may be "your turn" doesn't mean you have to run een wild and buss up everything

Fire in haste.....repent at your leisure

As a Trini when I was in T&T I would visit WIPA headquarters and he had all the info anyone wanted.

Yes, even Financials. This is how I knew Lara , Gayle , Sars , Shiv and BP T&T gave funds to keep WIPA afloat.

It was in the front room for anyone interested.

He has Caribbean cricket at heart and does not want to see it destroyed.

He is a very good Administrator and comes fully prepared.

The next time I see him , he gets a tap on he head fer not using dat Chair.



lol lol lol

Dinas that I know not into Politics

He will come into a Corporation and cut costs.

This is just about problems on a contract that some clueless individuals gave to a Chinese Corporation that was over value.

Spending Tax payers funds. He is shrewd would have checked out the legal implications before making such a move.

In 2018 he will be at the head of the T&TCB , he is now in position to get a better idea what Bassarath is doing with funds.

I know enough to say that Dinas is all bark and no bite when it comes to the so called reform of Tit Cricket..

In reply to Khaga

The man hasn't had a chance as yet. Just look at WIPA on a frugal budget what he did by getting probono help.

Watch 2018 when he takes over.

The fun will start.

That is where TT politicians and aspiring Kings fool the population in TT
'Getting probono help' is 'asking friends'
That carries conditions

I know Dinas' cohort, that's why I cannot get excited beyond the temporary clean up of Bassarat's cronies

A member of the board of SporTT told the T&T Guardian “there have been a lot of strange activities at the company and the only way to get to the bottom of it was through a forensic audit.”

Acting Sports Minister Nyan Gadsby Dolly, on her way to Cabinet on Thursday, said, “The situation is very sensitive and is being handled by the Office of the Attorney General.”

Questions are being asked about the one and a half million-dollar maintenance contract which the Shanghai Construction Group received from SporTT, which according to well-placed sources was not brought to the former board for ratification. The contract, according to SporTT insiders, was signed at a time when the company was already in the red financially and was “barely receiving enough money to meet its wage bill.”

Scores of employees of the Shanghai Group retained to fulfil the maintenance contract are now living on the compound of the Aquatic Centre in Couva. Asked why this was allowed, a member of the board said, “We have been asking questions about this and have been unable to get answers. These are the Shanghai people but no one seems to know how that arrangement of them living on the compound came to be.”

The source said there was no evidence of anything in the agreement with SCG to provide accommodation for the workers.

The T&T Guardian tried without success to contact SporTT chairman Dinanath Ramnarine yesterday.
