Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Gary Grif­fith told re­porters he was await­ing the out­come of the au­dit to start mak­ing big changes in the pro­gramme.He said con­tro­ver­sial Life Sport com­mu­ni­ty co-or­di­na­tor Ra­jaee Ali's pres­ence in the pro­gramme and those of cer­tain oth­er of­fi­cials may be cut af­ter the au­dit.Peo­ple's Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) MP Colm Im­bert last week said Ali should be fired and not­ed that cer­tain of­fi­cials had "in­sult­ed and hu­mil­i­at­ed" Grif­fith af­ter the min­is­ter voiced con­cerns about the pro­gramme.

Asked if Ali was still with the pro­gramme, Grif­fith, not­ing the au­dit is still on­go­ing, said: "There may be peo­ple who may need to be fired and not just based on ques­tion­able fi­nan­cial ir­reg­u­lar­i­ties but al­so in­com­pe­tence. "Bla­tant acts of in­dis­ci­pline al­so... when you see per­sons who hold se­nior posts as pro­gramme di­rec­tors mak­ing ad­verse state­ments about the gov­ern­ment and min­is­ters, when you have a spe­cial ad­vis­er to a min­is­ter at­tack­ing a min­is­ter, that shows in­dis­ci­pline.

"One of the prin­ci­ples I want in the Life Sport is dis­ci­pline so those per­sons who are in­dis­ci­plined will be re­moved forth­with. Al­so those in­volved in ques­tion­able ir­reg­u­lar­i­ties and per­sons of in­ter­est will al­so be re­moved."Grif­fith said noth­ing like that should be done un­til the au­dit was con­duct­ed. He felt the pro­gramme had a lot of pos­i­tives and in­tend­ed to keep them as many youths ben­e­fit­ed from it and it must con­tin­ue.

Grif­fith al­so said he had no in­volve­ment with MP Jack Warn­er's re­cent ac­tion over death threats to a Life Sport of­fi­cial.He said if any­one had con­cerns about crim­i­nal ac­tiv­i­ty, that in­for­ma­tion should not be giv­en to an MP but to the po­lice and any ev­i­dence in­volv­ing a lap­top should be giv­en to the Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er, not an MP.
