“What is this acrimony about? NCC (National Carnival Commission) is an organisation. It has structure. I felt the handover could wait until you select a board. It would have been the most civilised thing to do.”

So said National Carnival Commission (NCC) chairman Winston “Gypsy” Peters after he tendered his resignation about midday yesterday. He also said NCC deputy chairman Davlin Thomas tendered his resignation yesterday.

Prior to yesterday, Peters had said he would serve until the end of his term in November 2025 and had not yet received any request to resign from the new administration.
