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!
The Audit is Done…
Word reaching the Belize Times is that the comprehensive financial audit on Mayor
Zenaida Moya and her UDP City Council is done and the report is sitting on the
desk of the Prime Minister. Sources within the City Council tell us that the
evidence of corruption is damning and there is a whole lot more missing than
was previously thought. Belizeans are now in suspense – when will the audit be
made public, Mr. Barrow? We can’t wait, cause we’re being told that there is a
very well known and very popular City Council scapegoat who is being coerced to
take the fall for the Mayor. Please say it ain’t so? We’ll leave it like that,
but let’s just say that we now understand why the Mayor was so reluctant to
leave her office even though she’s at the point of giving birth to 50 cent
(half a dalla)…If Da No Soh!
Herbie has left the building…
At a time when poor Belizeans are struggling to send
their kids to school and impoverished ‘A’ students are forced to cut their
educational aspirations short, this is the best of times for the UDP cronies.
The Clerk of the National Assembly Herbert Panton has left the building for
greener pastures, so to speak. We understand that Herbie has gotten an all
expenses paid full scholarship with study leave (full pay) to finish off his
last two years of law. The effete gentleman leaves behind him to mourn his
emotional wife Tracy and Belmopan Area Representative John Saldivar…you can
figure out that one…If Da No Soh!
BTB Bash…
But word is the resilient Director of Tourism wasn’t
crying for too long, since she rebounded to throw a $9,000 bash at the Radisson
for her Minister Manuel Heredia. Of course, we weren’t invited, so we can’t
tell you all the details, but for $9000 at a time when tourism related
businesses are closing down, we hope it was one hell of a party…If Da
No Soh!
School bags anyone…?
Pablo Marin has been in hiding since the beginning
of the health crisis, and for a spell we even thought that he had given up his
ministerial portfolio in shame and had gone back to changing lightbulbs. But
alas, that was not the case. The Minister was seen on a very funny move on
Sunday night in his constituency in Corozal. School opened on Monday, so late
Sunday night Marin was going to certain houses dropping off school bags, but
the thing is that it wasn’t house to house, just select house of UDP supporters
very close to him. Mein, when Barrow said that only the UDP supposed to eat his
ministers took it seriously. It seems that only the UDP specials supposed to
benefit from these back to school essentials…If Da No Soh!
New hardware store…
Word reaching us late this evening is that there’s a
new hardware store opening in Corozal, owned and operated by UDP Senator
Roosevelt Blades. Apparently Blades is in charge of disbursing the grants from
the Venezuela funds and dictating where people are supposed to go to buy their
materials for construction. Word is he was heard telling a friend that his
store opens up next week, cause then all materials can be bought from him since
he sure as hell will not be left out of this UDP free for all…If Da
No Soh!
From cheerleader to hardware magnate…
And it’s much the same all over the country, as the
UDP cronies feed at the Venezuelan trough. In Orange Walk, although it was
stated by Finnegan that disbursements would be done through the Area
Representative, word is that it is the UDP Mayor Phillip de la Fuente who
approves application for house improvement grants. And get this, all the
recipients of these grants have to purchase their supplies at Landy’s &
Sons, since Landy Burns was one of the biggest cheerleaders for the UDP before
elections…If Da No Soh!
UDP Free for All…
And since we’re on the subject of a UDP free for
all, word is that the former Mayor of Orange Walk Town, Ravell Gonzalez, has
been awarded a full scholarship to go abroad and study. Remember the former
Mayor, who knocked down and killed a little girl and a man on the Northern
Highway while he was allegedly under the influence of alcohol? Well, he is now
living the life abroad at our expense, a gift from the UDP for his stepping
down and making way for Phillip de la Fuente. Then there is DPM Gaspar Vega’s daughter,
who was pushed to the head of the line for a teaching position at Orange Walk
Technical High School, even though there were other highly qualified applicants
for the post. And of course there is Educardo Leiva, another UDP crony in
Orange Walk, who bypassed other applicants for a teaching position at OWTHS.
It’s a feeding frenzy in the UDP, but it won’t last forever, and after the
feast will certainly come a time of great famine…If Da No Soh!
