The leaders of the National Carnival Commission (NCC), the National Carnival Bandleader's Association (NCBA) and the Port-of-Spain City Corporation should all hang their collective heads in shame.It is unbelievable, and so ironic, that our young carnival masqueraders are unwittingly caught up in some "small-minded" people bacchanal over their mas route. Big people are putting on a power play with the children in the middle.
Anyone who has objectively viewed the newly proposed, convoluted route, from Woodbrook, would know that absolutely no consideration whatsoever was given to the children by the NCBA and the NCC.It is so much simpler and safer to have our children go straight up Frederick Street and turn left into the Queen's Park Savannah. But this idea does not engender corruption so it, obviously, must be ignored.
Someone needs to bring these three bodies together and knock some common sense into them, for the sake of our children. Let us hope good sense will prevail in 2015.
