Promoter Robert Thompson has confirmed stepping down as president and board member of the Promoters Association. In revealing this during an interview with Newsday on December 7, Thompson added there was no particular reason for his decision to quit the association.

Meanwhile, vice president Asha Green said in another phone interview also on December 7, that she could not speak to the matter.

However, she shared there had been no response from the government – following last week’s press conference on December 3 – to a request to meet with the association to discuss the impact of the government’s ban on state-owned venues for fetes and other Carnival events.
