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!
The Prime Minister of Belize Honourable Dean Barrow
proved this week that his word can never be trusted and that it is always
advisable to enter agreements with him covered in the safety net of black &
white documentation and notarized signatures. On Monday, August 31st,
the Prime Minister met with at least 15 members of the National Trade Union
Congress of Belize. Twenty-four hours later, the NTUCB issued a release
informing the general public and their members of their meeting and outlining 5
points of agreement between the NTUCB and the Prime Minister. Just hours after
that, the Prime Minister was on national television claiming that he had
absolutely no idea what the NTUCB was talking about and condemning that union
for what he called ‘distortions and
mischaracterizations.’
