The Tobago House of Assembly (THA) is not an ATM to fund activities of national sporting teams, Assistant Secretary in the Division of Education, Youth Affairs and Sport Assemblyman Jomo Pitt has said.
He said there has been a disturbing trend that has developed for national sporting organisations seeking financial assistance for national teams to participate in overseas tournaments. He said the Department of Sport recently received a request for financial assistance from the T&T Table Tennis Association for an under 15 national team which comprised 13 of the 19 players to participate in a tournament in Guyana.
