Dear Editor,
I am writing to express my concern about the current arrangement in which one person holds both the positions of President of the Steelpan Association and Steelpan Coordinator within the Department of Culture.
While I understand the intention to streamline efforts and promote efficiency, I firmly believe that this concentration of power is counterproductive and detrimental to the growth and development of the Steelpan community.

Having one person occupy both roles creates a conflict of interest, blurs the lines of accountability and hinders the potential for the art form’s creativity and innovation.
Moreover, it also limits the opportunities for collaboration and innovation that could arise from having separate leaders with distinct perspectives and strengths.
This arrangement further undermines the autonomy and independence of the Steelpan Association, which are essential for its credibility and effectiveness.
It also concentrates too much power in one person’s hands, leading to a lack of transparency and potential abuses of authority. The urgency of this issue cannot be overstated.
Therefore, I urge you to reconsider this arrangement seriously and separate the roles.
This change could pave the way for a more democratic and inclusive approach to steelpan governance, which is crucial for the future of the steelpan community.
Sincerely Yours,
A lover of the Artform
