National Carnival Commission (NCC) chairman Peter Kanhai says there were no discussions with organisers of the Ultimate Soca Champion (USC) before the 2026 edition of the competition was shelved due to a lack of funding.
Speaking with Guardian Media yesterday, Kanhai confirmed that the event’s organisers formally wrote to the Ministry of Culture and Community Development and copied the NCC on the correspondence.
As a result, he said, any decision on funding would have had to originate from the Ministry of Culture.
