While the news in Belize on any given day is normally drab and depressing, this past Monday’s newscast by any measure was downright petrifying. Two persons beheaded in Cayo, a mother gunned down with young infant strapped on her back, a Police Officer walks into a prison cell and executes a detained man and heavily armed gunmen open fire upon a permanent Police Checkpoint. My GOD, is this really the Belize that we grew up in?
Guest Editorial: Belize City Council Shenanigans
May 7, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The latest scandal emanating from the Belize City Council has left city residents wondering just what else can go wrong with this council. Since assuming office in 2006, Mayor Moya’s UDP council has been fraught with scandals and accusations of wrongdoing. Who can forget an emotional Mark King in August of 2008, tearfully pleading with Zenaida Moya to desist from her corrupt practices? King had called a press conference to present concrete evidence of Moya’s mismanagement of city funds. Mark King pulled no punches, accusing the mayor of being a “liar and a thief” and had documented proof to support his charges. Many believed it was the end of Moya’s political career, and indeed anywhere else in the world, it would have been. Moya received overwhelming support from the media however and in particular Kremandala, who spared no ink or words in exalting her to the skies.
