Belize City, Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - Late last week, the Belize Press Office sent out a release which stated – “The Government of Belize today made additional funds available in the sum of $250,000 to the Belize City Council to assist the Council with meeting urgent expenses related to payroll and to the purchase of sanitation services.”

Dat Bloody Gapi!

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.
