Imagine – over the long weekend when residents
of Orange Walk North were being flooded out of their homes, forced to walk
through mud and water and potholes, their area representative Gapi Vega was
across the border in Cancun living it up. Not only that, but the bloody man
gone up there in his official fancy government ride with red and white vanity
license plates. So that means that the same taxpayers in Orange Walk North who
were suffering here at home were paying for the Deputy Prime Minister to go
jolly in Cancun. And the thing is that everybody know that the man is a
multi-millionaire with a fleet of fancy vehicles, so he neva have to use his
government ride and government fuel. That man no have no shame, especially
after GOB talk about how things hard and after people getting fired from their
jobs and can’t even put food on the table. And this isn’t the first time – Vega
is always travelling to Chet in his government ride full with fuel paid for by
taxpayers. But no worry bout it – for Gapi the day of reckoning is very near –
much nearer than he thinks…if da no soh!
Belize
City, Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - During his press
conference this morning, Prime Minister Dean Barrow proposed to once again
dodge and disrespect the National Assembly by allowing his Foreign Minister to
sign a historic so-called Compromise Agreement with Guatemala and the
Organization of American States (OAS) committing Belize to a referendum on the
unfounded Guatemalan claim to Belize. This is not the first time that Mr.
Barrow has attempted to sidestep the National Assembly since becoming Prime
Minister.
Belize

Hon. Wilfred “Sedi” Elrington, Attorney General and Minister of Foreign
Affairs, absent from UDP Prime Minister Dean Barrow’s press conference
yesterday, but Barrow preferred that Elrington’s name not even be mentioned.
