Perdomo found…?

For months now we’ve been searching for that very elusive Minister of National Security Carlos Perdomo, who seemed to have vanished mysteriously early this year. Of course, we put our best investigators on the case, but the last bit of info we got is that some months ago, Perdomo and his driver were allegedly at some embassy cocktail when the Minister got a little tippled. Oh hell, man, he was wasted, they tell us. Now the usual drill is for the driver to take him home, but guess what – the driver was apparently drunk too. Anyway, as the story goes, Special Branch had to throw both the Minister and his driver in a vehicle and take them to the Convention Hotel, where they rolled them into bed for the night. Anyway, we use this story only for reference because that is the last place Perdomo was sighted. So here’s this obscure story which just surfaced yesterday…the driver of Minister Carlos Perdomo ran off the road this week at some unspecified time at some unspecified place. We say unspecified because this report never did end up in the Police sit-rep so very little details are known. Not satisfied, we did a little digging and here’s what we uncovered – the accident apparently happened on Tuesday night at around 10:00pm as the vehicle was heading down from Belmopan. Tuesday was Cabinet Day, and it has become a tradition for certain UDP ministers to drink at a certain bar. So we figure that the Minister was with his driver on that fateful night and his Police are just covering up the story. How’s that for investigative skills? Anyway, while the Minister still remains at large, we’re getting closer…If Da No Soh!

Undoubtedly last week’s move by Prime Minister Barrow’s to orchestrate a hostile takeover of Belize Telemedia was a bold one and one that many people support. Belizeans for different reasons wanted to get control over BTL. That was the cry from the unions and many Belizeans as far back as 2005.

There are many persons on our selection panel who thought that Prime Minister Dean Barrow deserved the title of Hypocrite of the Week, and they weren’t wrong, so to speak. After all, he did come to power on the premise and promise of transparency and accountability and good governance and then appoint his ex-wife to just about every available posting, appoint his young, inexperienced and not too bright son a director of the multi-million dollar corporate entity BTL and his brother as a justice of the Court of Appeals. Of course, there is also the fact that he just this week promised the unions a whole heap of goodies and then just hours later punk them on national television, saying he did no such thing. Hell, I just convinced myself – he does deserve the title.

It is astounding to hear the Prime Minister state repeatedly on national radio and television that he is okay with his act of nepotism when he appointed his son as a Director on BTL’s Board. When asked about the issue by Ava Diaz on Love FM, since Ernesto Vasquez apparently did not have the cojones to do so, the Prime Minister said that he placed his son in BTL due to national, economic and political reasons. He went on to say that his son will be his ears and eyes in the company. I can understand Anwar being appointed for political reasons however I cannot understand how in the world the Prime Minister could sit on national television, look the Belizean people in the eyes and say that he appointed his son for national and economic reasons.  I ask this question: Who the hell is Anwar Barrow? Does he come with any great skills, intelligence or experience that will aid in the development of the telecommunications industry and Belize? The answer is hell no! He is a boy who has gotten a free ride in life due to the successes of his father and mother. He has accomplished nothing on his own and now he is being placed on the Board of BTL to watch over people. The Prime Minister has really gotten delusional and he is really taking Belizeans for a ride!
