Youth, Sports and Culture Minister Mario Bowleg said yesterday that the NJC approached him after concerns were raised about the JCNP. Mr Bowleg added that the NJC already manages parades in the Family Islands and therefore has the experience and capacity to step in if needed. Still, the minister stressed that government has not decided to let the NJC manage the parades or sanction two rival parades, calling such discussions premature. “The JCNP groups will parade and the NJC groups will parade,” he said in an interview with Eyewitness News yesterday. “Groups have not successfully competing in the past ten parades, quite a few in the number of them,” he said.
