THE BELIZE TIMES
BELIZE’S WORST PRIME MINISTER One of those worthless laws of which our Prime Minister has become infamous for, is being passed again. We use the word worthless in the English and creole sense, it is shameless, lowdown, without any principle, deserving of contempt and condemnation, no-good, disgraceful et cetera, etc. This law, called the “government contract (validation) act” is being made law to cover another one of Dean Barrow sneaky, tricky, and dishonest mismanagement of millions of dollars of taxpayers monies and loans which have already been given to certain special UDP cronies. One hundred million dollars for upgrading Sarteneja Road. One hundred and thirty million dollars to upgrade the Coastal Highway – given to Imer Hernandez. Thirty Eight Million Dollars for Corozal Road – given to an unknown Belize Roadway construction company. Fourteen Million Dollars for the Caracol Road – given to an unknown A & N Construction Company. Mein! Oh Mein! This Prime Minister should go to jail. Not a dollar for the thousands of poor people to better their lives. Not a single housing project. No free education for all our young people who deserve a chance in life. No improvement for the hospitals and clinics. No vehicles and forensic equipment for the police to fight crime. Only roads and roundabouts, roads and roundabouts. If this doesn’t look like rampant corruption. We ask you to look again. And have you heard what the people in the streets are saying about Dean Barrow. Jules Vasquez had already described the UDP

not as them stink dah road, but that they are rotting carcass. On the streets they are saying Dean Barrow never did have a machete to fight corruption. He had a butter knife which he used to butter up his family and political cronies. Dean Barrow business eena jail. THE WORST SCANDAL The worst scandal of scandals infested government is the one where the Prime Minister held a secret meeting with Lord Ashcroft and signed a secret document agreeing to pay the Lord over Five Hundred Million Dollars. All this money was paid from the treasury in one lump sum. Which law firm collected 10% commission fees? The second worst scandal was the squandering waste of theft of over Four Hundred Million Dollars of the Petro-Caribe funds. There was no on time National Assembly approvals, no audit, no accountability and no transparency. There have been so many scandals involving the Prime Minister who is also the Minister of Finance and who is the sole person approving every dollar that is spent, wasted, squandered and stolen. But the helicopter/BDF scandal that rocked the Belizeans to their bones was the revelation last week that as part of a drug plane issue, a BDF helicopter “crashed” and killed its four BDF occupants. Two of whom were not combatants but unarmed pilots and instructors. We commend Belizeans who immediately who saw through the tissue of lies and cover up by the new Minister and his C.E.O. on the matter. No one trust the officials anymore. And rightly so, all they do is lie to us and take us for fools. There are now much more questions than answers and the hurry up white-wash investigation that is taking place will not suffice. Heads have to roll!
