Over the last cou­ple of weeks the dif­fer­ing roads be­ing walked by min­is­ters Gary Grif­fith and Anil Roberts have been re­vealed, first on the ques­tion of the Life Sport Pro­gramme, its fund­ing, man­age­ment and ac­count­abil­i­ty.This week Mr Roberts de­mand­ed of the or­gan­is­ers of the Caribbean Pre­mier League that they take the "T&T" out of the Red Steel T20 team.

But al­most im­me­di­ate­ly that was done and the Red Steel man­agers con­formed to the de­mand, Mr Grif­fith is re­port­ed to have walked in­to the sit­u­a­tion and giv­en the go-ahead to tour­na­ment spon­sors to reat­tach the T&T brand to the Red Steel out­fit.A man known for ex­press­ing his views loud­ly and vig­or­ous­ly, Mr Roberts says his col­league has no pow­er to give any go-ahead of this na­ture. He fur­ther counter-claims that the Cab­i­net has giv­en no au­thor­i­ty for the re­in­state­ment of the T&T brand.

But Mr Grif­fith's re­join­der is that there was no need for a Cab­i­net de­ci­sion to re­scind Mr Roberts' de­ci­sion to take away the name, as Cab­i­net had noth­ing to do with that de­ci­sion in the first place. Ac­cord­ing to Mr Grif­fith it was all Mr Roberts' do­ing, and noth­ing to do with the Cab­i­net. Nev­er­the­less, such open bick­er­ing be­tween two mem­bers of Cab­i­net is un­seem­ly at best.
