Page 127 of 215 Petrojam Limited Integrity Commission October 2019 team participation in the Central American and Caribbean Swimming Championships. The DI has, however, not seen any evidence of a disbursement by Petrojam Limited in the said amount. By way of a letter dated June 1, 2017, addressed to [REPRESENTATIVE] from Ms. Tastey Blackman, 2017 CCCAN Swim Team Manager, the following, inter alia , was stated: “ … XXX Central American and Caribbean Swimming Championships – Trinidad & Tobago The Amateur Swimming Association of Jamaica (ASAJ) is inviting Petrojam Ltd. to sponsor the National Swim Team to attend the upcoming XXX Central American and Caribbean Swimming Championships (CCCAN) and to assist with defraying some of the outstanding expenses associated with the recently concluded CARIFTA Swimming Championships which was held in Bahamas last Easter. Earlier this year, we sought sponsorship from your organization to support the 2017 National Age Group CARIFTA Swim Team however; it appears that more time was needed for Petrojam to process this request to meet the Championship timeline. … The cost of sending the team of twenty swimmers and three officials to the CCCAN is $4.960 million. This figure includes the cost of airfare, ground transportation, accommodation, meals, swim gear, nutritional support, medical fees and other incidentals. We have attached a budget which outlines these costs.
