In an invited comment the ousted president said he is now working on an advice which will be given to government. One of the points is that advice is for government to make sure the entire board of the SCDF is shuffled. "What we have is bunch of old members who have been rotating over the years and they want to dictate how carnival should be celebrated without involving the stakeholders. For me this should not be the stakeholders should be involved in the management of carnival.
Dupersoy said he had several sleepless nights and he even offered to make his position available to the board during the carnival season since he was not getting any type of cooperation from the executive board. "While some of the committee members were extremely co-operative and at least one member of the executive board the others were not. "every idea and proposal was shot down, it was no no for everything and I basically had to do all the work alone and without their blessings." Dupersoy said. Asked what the letter entailed, the ousted president said they claim they no longer have confidence in him since he took independent decisions to pull off the 40th carnival celebration.
SMN News was not able to make contact with any of the board members for a comment.
