Bailiffs moved in­to Pan Trin­ba­go head­quar­ters in Port-of-Spain on Thurs­day to levy against the steel­band or­gan­i­sa­tion for a grow­ing $200,000 debt owed to a pri­vate com­pa­ny.

Con­fir­ma­tion came from out­go­ing Pan Trin­ba­go trea­sur­er An­drew Sal­vador.

Sal­vador said the or­gan­i­sa­tion owed a $200,000 debt to a com­pa­ny, which he re­fused to name, that re­sult­ed in a court ac­tion.

“The court ac­tion was ap­proved. What hap­pened they came yes­ter­day (Thurs­day) and the mat­ter was ironed out.”

Sal­vador said Pan Trin­ba­go even­tu­al­ly set­tled the pay­ment.

He ad­mit­ted that Pan Trin­ba­go owes sev­er­al com­pa­nies “mil­lions of dol­lars,” while six or­gan­i­sa­tions owed them $3 mil­lion.

Sal­vador said they were await­ing re­leas­es of funds from the Gov­ern­ment to set­tle these pay­ments.

Out­go­ing Pan Trin­ba­go pres­i­dent Kei­th Di­az said among the or­gan­i­sa­tions who owed $1 mil­lion to Pan Trin­ba­go was the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion.

Di­az said al­so con­firmed that Pan Trin­ba­go owes many or­gan­i­sa­tions.

“We did not re­ceive a lot of funds from the Gov­ern­ment since 2017. This led to the debt. Up to now, we have not seen mon­ey from the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion from 2017. And we are ow­ing peo­ple.”

Di­az re­fused to say how much was Pan Trin­ba­go’s over­all debt.

On Oc­to­ber 28, Pan Trin­ba­go’s elec­tion will be held for a new ex­ec­u­tive.

Ten po­si­tions are up for grabs.

Eight peo­ple have of­fered them­selves for the po­si­tion of pres­i­dent.
