RAL NEWS – Even after making appeals for payment these past five years, one Carnival service provider says he is yet to receive compensation from the Browne Administration.<\/p>

This is the situation faced by well-known Mas\u2019 builder Alister Thomas, even as the Cabinet claims that payment to winners and other participants has been budgeted.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last week, the Cabinet Notes reported that \u201cevery effort is being made to complete those payments on the night of the events.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Executive added that other invoices, from other providers, are also being worked on, so the late payments that have plagued previous Carnivals can be avoided this year.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

However, Thomas says the minister with responsibility for the festival \u2013 along with his political opponent, Prime Minister Gaston Browne \u2013 has refused to pay him the more than $50,000 he is owed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thomas explains that a significant portion of the arrears was for personal funds he expended \u2013 ahead of the Government giving its small stipend \u2013 to ensure that several schools had costumes to take part in the festival.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The veteran Mas\u2019 builder says he is appalled at the conduct of the minister in refusing to pay what he is rightfully owed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And he notes that, for all the decades he has been involved in Carnival, he, Thomas, has never brought politics to the front.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Children\u2019s Carnival was held on Sunday, July 30, and Thomas, under normal circumstances, would have designed costumes for a number of schools to take part.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He is also the designer of Ali and Associates, which has won many awards and honours for costume design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
