Carliston “Calypso Kerr” Kerr, the National Carnival Commission’s coordinator for County Caroni is appealing for regional Carnival bodies to receive full funding to meet their budgets to ensure successful events. He made the plea before the start of Monday Night Carnival celebrations hosted by the Chaguanas Borough Carnival Committee.
Kerr said regional bodies in Central were doing an excellent job and could have achieved more if they had received their full budget from the NCC.
He said, “The people in Central, I think what they ask for is because they realise the potential that they are dealing with. If they set out to do ‘X’ and they get three quarters of ‘X’ or half of ‘X,’ they can only do that much. When it’s time to criticise, everybody may want to criticise. If they pull off a magic and get everything and everything goes well, everybody wants to jump on the train, they want to be part of that successful running.”
