Boynes deserves praise
THE EDITOR: I would like to congratulate Mr Austin Jack Warner and the Soca Warriors for taking us to Germany 2006. I would also like to congratulate the Minister of Sport, Roger Boynes for managing tax payers money prudently throughout this entire journey to world football elite. Amidst all the criticism of the minister, for whom I hold no grief, he was yet able to ensure that the Government of which he is a part contributed a reasonable sum of six million dollars (having given abn amount of two million prior to that.) Importantly, from what I have read he was also able to get corporate Trinidad and Tobago in the likes of Carib Brewery, British Gas, Petrotrin, National Lotteries Control Board, Unit Trust et all, to support the team in its journey. It seems to me, however, that there are forces that want the country to ignore all of this, let it be recorded however, that corporate Trinidad and Tobago has responded and should be commended for it.
