Pan Trinbago Central Executive external relations officer Clyde Telemaque said allowing citizens 16 years and over to carry a valid form of identification would help with remuneration during and after Panorama.He made this comment during the launch of two songs, “Unshakeable Queen of Pan” and “Pannists’ Achievements” at the Queen’s Park Savannah, Port of Spain, yesterday.On Wednesday, Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander confirmed the Government would seek to enact legislation requiring all citizens aged 16 and over to have a valid form of identification on them when they are in public spaces. He said the requirement would also apply to foreign nationals ­in public spaces in Trinidad and ­Tobago.“It’s a good move because the remuneration which the child gets will go into their accounts. Many times, the parent would ask if the cheque can go to them. Put it in their account. It makes it difficult for the child. Sometimes the parent would say the children don’t have a bank account. If a child has an ID, it would make the process of remuneration easier. We have children playing pan from ages ten to 14,” Telemaque said.Pan Trinbago vice-president Terry Bernard said: “I would support anything that would improve the country. I am all for it. I don’t believe in opposing for opposing sake. We have a Government in place. We have to trust them to make the best decisions in the interest of the people. I would also support the police posts.“We should be getting more youths into the steelbands. It’s a sacred space in the communities. It’s more than playing pan. It’s about etiquette, team spirit and a sense of patriotism. It’s about creating good opportunities for children and youths.”Poet Eintou Pearl Springer said: “I always have my ID card. I don’t have a problem with it. There are always positives and negatives to anything. But I think people should not be punished.”Manager of the Curepe-based steelband Moods Steel Orchestra Roger Thomas said: “It’s done in the United Kingdom. So, it’s a move to upgrade the country. Bring us into international standards.”Meanwhile, some people said an ID card was a “rite of passage”.“I don’t have to wait for Kamla or Alexander to tell me to get an ID card for my child,” a parent told the Express yesterday.A taxi-driver, who gave his name as Jason, said: “It’s a way to keep track of everybody. I think it will keep the Venezuelans at bay. I feel with or without the ID cards, they can track your movements. There are informers,” he said and drew reference to the police tracking of escaped prisoner Robby Khadoo who was killed by police in San Fernando.Meanwhile, another woman let loose a barrage of expletives, and said: “What’s wrong with Kamla Persad-Bissessar?”
