Bassarath's TTCB appeals NGC audit ruling

T&T Cricket Board (TTCB) has appealed the ruling of Justice Frank Seepersad who ordered them to appoint a five-member committee to investigate issues and concerns raised in a National Gas Company (NGC) financial audit.

The issue at hand was that some of the money from the sponsorship to the TTCB was used on projects not outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the parties.

In a decision delivered at the Hall of Justice, Port-of-Spain on January 27, Justice Seepersad ordered the TTCB to appoint the committee within 30 days. His order was made as former National League representative Dinanath Ramnarine was partially successful in his lawsuit against the TTCB.

In the lawsuit, he alleged there were material conflicts of interest in the voting process and accused the current executive of misrepresenting financial documents and information required for the public to determine how the TTCB spends public funds.
