Anil Roberts: GONE!!!!!!!!!!!

[speedist]

Effectic I understand where you coming from but you have to wipe that smile off your face... with a napkin cuz all the tp gone

At the end of the day you can't get caught up suffering with the sufferers. It does nothing more than perpetuate the cycle of them suffering and people pointing fingers at them so they can call it discrimination and add that to their suffering portfolio. Remember at the end of the day, we still have to fight for them because what is good for them can be good for us.

It takes the same amount of effort for a group of people to tear each other down as it takes for that same group of people to lift each other up. If you make the effort to ease just one person"s "suffering" you will see a shift in their attitude. It may not be immediately as they most likely have been "suffering" for generations

You have a good point here eh. I personally love to see everyone succeed but a lot of times in life I noticed these same people does try to bring me down. So I does end up letting them suffer alone I learned this the hard way.

But maybe I can once again give them another chance.

Don't do it. It's a trap.

They don't realize that there are also poor ,illiterate ,badly behaved indians too. The majority of syrians also back the PNM, take that for all PNm being poor!

Arabs are not really PNM, they see the PNM as a cash cow and only use them for them for their underhand business purposes. They rake in millions and pay their work force chicken feed. The Arab intake is bigger that life sport.
Arabs don't care about political parties, they care about their income plus they don't live a daily trini lifestyle. Most of the Arabs lives in Miami away from the daily trini hustle. They live in their own world and marry into their own family.

DC Tent Rentals boss goes into hiding

Life Sport controversy...

Davoughn Cummings, who earned $5.5 million in less than two years renting tents, tables, chairs and portable toilets to the controversial Life Sport programme, has gone into hiding.

Even Cummings’ mother Bernadine Cummings said she had no idea where her son was.

Bernadine, a mother of 11, who was abroad, said she returned home a few days ago only to hear that her son, who she affectionately calls “Boyo,” had moved out of the family’s home and could not be found.

Invoices submitted by Cummings to Life Sport listed his business—DC Tent Rentals as being a supplier of tent, tables, chairs and portable toilets, located at 8 Poui Lane, Malabar, Arima.

Cummings, age 25, also lived at the same address with his mother.

The audit showed that DC Tent Rentals, which had no formal contract with Life Sport, collected $5,590,225 for the periods 2012 to 2013 and 2013 to 2014, which appeared to be very excessive.

It also showed several questionable transactions between Life Sport and the company.

On Thursday, the Sunday Guardian also discovered that the company operated in a cloud of secrecy as neighbours in the community said they were unaware of its existence as there were no commercial signs advertising the business. There was no signs of any type of business activity when the Sunday Guardian visited. On the portion of land, which seemed like close to a lot, stood a single storey green house. There was no shed or tents up.

“We don’t know about any tent rental and portable toilet business around here. You sure you have the right address?” one neighbour asked.

Another woman said she has been living on the street for over 20 years and never heard about the company.

Bernadine said the last time said she spoke to her son was on Tuesday.

“He tell me if they jail him he would talk the plain truth. I told him when I come home we would talk. I am really anxious to see him. Since I come home I ain’t see him. Every minute I looking out for him. This morning I sat by the window hoping to see him, but he did not show up. I want to hug him. That is my baby...my last child. He is very loving to his mother,” she said.

Speaking behind her closed gate, Bernadine claimed the recent articles about her son, which she read upon her arrival, came as a shock to her.

“I was not pleased at all, at all, at all. As a mother you would not feel good.”

She said the audit which highlighted corruption and criminal activity in Life Sport was news citizens wanted to hear.

Asked if she thinks her son’s life may be in danger, Bernadine said “all of that I am studying. I am worried.”

Was her son involved in criminal activity? Bernadine said no. She admitted that he was arrested by the police, but was not charged.

“Boyo is a born coward,” she said. “He loves children, especially his nieces and nephews.”

Before getting into the rental business, Bernadine said her son was unemployed.

Bernadine said when her son started working as a supplier she warned him to “be careful” not because her child was doing anything wrong, but out of caution.

How long has Cummings been operating his business, Bernadine replied, “I don’t know his business. My children is big man and woman. I don’t ask them what they doing.”

Messages left on Cummings’ cellphone were not returned.

This reporter also gave Bernadine a contact number to pass on to her son should he show up.

But up to late yesterday, Cummings did not call. 

 

The audit revealed

Queries were raised about a $50,000 payment paid to Cummings for the rental of eight 25-seater maxi-taxis and 200 meals for a one-day trip from Malabar to Guayaguayare for participants of the programme.

Cummings was reimbursed $98,000 for items he claimed were destroyed during a police raid last February. However, the audit stated that the transparency of the entire reimbursement transaction was questionable as no police report was presented to central audit. 

The audit also discovered that the $98,000 cheque was prepared by Life Sport for payment prior to the invoice being prepared and submitted to Cummings. Further inquiry revealed that the assistant accountant (at Life Sport) Ms Beckles stated that the cheque was printed on April 24, 2014, in error, and when picked up was voided and re-issued with the correct date. 

The items purchased by DC Rentals from the funds reimbursed were subsequently rented from Life Sport—as noted in invoices dated June 30, 2014—for Evergreen, Carapo and Valencia in the sum of $39,000 and $12,000 respectively.

Cummings had no formal contract with Life Sport, as value for money was not being achieved and exorbitant amounts were paid monthly to him for the rental of items, the audit stated.

The audit also stated that transparency seemed to be lacking as verification of the services being paid for was difficult and that weaknesses in the approval and payment processes were also evident.

Items Cummings claimed were destroyed in the police raid:

2 portable toilets—$15,000

2 20x20 tents—$30,000

6 20 ft sidewalls—$11,000 

2 Port-A-Cool unit—$36,000

1 Port-A-Cool hand sink—$6,000

with the exception of a set of girls showing their ugly bottom in some sort of wining contest for a degree in "Culture". I mean don't get me wrong I fat aswell, but I know better than to go and wine my fat ass with ah drawz alone on and Rooster up my ass to the sky for the cameras.

With that said, UTT does have excellent Engineering Degrees

http://u.tt/index.php?articles=1&article_key=2465&wk=23

Their process engineering for example is IChemE UK accredited same as UWI.


While you right about some of their degrees requiring no homework to pass, UTT has been drastically improved under the UNC, especially their Computer Engineering degree which is to be accredited soon as it now features discrete mathematics.

Kamla has promised to raise the standards of UTT and you can see she is trying. But lots of things that are PNM in mentality makes it difficult. But they are doing a good Job with it thus far. I personally would love to see UTT become a world class University as I am sure any trini would, but I know it will never happen under PNM. Only way it would ever happen is with Kamla as she understands education better than anyone in the PNM party.

COSTATT is a totally different case though. I heard 90% of this country don't recognize COSTATT degrees but I am not sure if anything has changed in recent years.

Yeah boy is true. And you will also find UTT lecturers in class telling you that a UWI grad will be your boss when you go out in the field and you know who is to blame? its PNM

But I cah vex with the man because he is partially correct. While UTT has decent degrees, a lot of things hamper their respect and their image.

For example why does UTT need to offer a degree in "carnival" "steel pan" "jockey shorts management" etc? why do they insist on putting up videos of girls cocking up they ass in the sky and showing their panty? this only tarnishes their image.

With that said you would be amazed at the hidden stuff that UTT offers all thanks to UNC
If PNM was still in control you could bet your bottom dollar UTT would be no better than COSTATT

The IchemE accreditation is thanks to the UNC government, more proof that Kamla is working for the interest of the people to compete in an international level.

http://u.tt/index.php?articles=1&article_key=2465&wk=23

On September 26, 2012 UTT was notified by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) UK of the successful accreditation of the following programmes:

National Engineering Technician Diploma in Chemical Engineering
Bachelor of Applied Science in Process Engineering
Master of Engineering in Process Engineering

[ek4ever]

Rupert Griffith as Sports Minister. Really! Tantie Kams, yuh mean your government is so badly off that you can find no one else?

It have plenty clean up to do in Min of Sport and anyone who ever worked with Griffith know he is a no nonsense man. Don't produce nah and when he call you up for it try and BS him ... is level cuss yuh gettin and out the door .... look for a next work one time.

If Kamla really trying to make UTT better then she should shoulder some of the blame for Lifesport fiasco as well.

If Kamla really trying to make UTT better then she should shoulder some of the blame for Lifesport fiasco as well.

Nobody in this country has genuinely helped UTT as much as Kamla did. She made phenomenal improvements to UTT programs and their accreditation in the Engineering campuses.

They will get on UWI level one day in future but for now, Kamla needs to stamp out PNM influence on the UTT.

I still trying to understand why PNM introduced a degree in carnival. How that helping anybody in life? imagine in primary school, the kids will be doing the dutty wine and for that they will be granted entry into a degree level where they will do the official jamaican ghetto donkey wine upside down

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

What that has to do with my point I have no idea. We talking about two entirely different concepts.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

That Lifesport fiasco is anil roberts doing.

I am glad Kamla got rid of him, this was the correct thing to do for once our politicians are paying for their corruption imagine if it was PNM they would of covered it up and continue going. How quickly we forget about Colder Heart and manning Obeyah woman with the Church corruption.

What has kamala done specifically to help utt?
