SPEAKER in the Chair. !PRAYERS by Pastor Conrad Arzu. ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE SPEAKER MR.SPEAKER: Honourable Members, please allow me to make two acknowledgements. I would like to acknowledge some students here all the way from Corozal, from the Corozal Community College. They are here to observe the budget debates and I hope we don’t disappoint them over the next two days or if just for the day that they are here today. So welcome students from Corozal Community! College (CCC). Enjoy and learn and thanks for coming. Secondly, Honourable Members, if some of us may notice some of us, the glaring absence of our beloved colleague from Mesopotamia. I would like to take this opportunity to say to the Finnegan’s and Myvette’s family, our condolences for the passing of his mother. The Minister for Housing has indicated to me today, and yesterday as well, that he would not be attending the debate, we’ll surely miss him. I ask all of you to keep him in our prayers and to wish the family well during their! time of bereavement. HON. D. BARROW (Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and Economic Development): Mr. Speaker, If you would allow me simply to join you in offering condolences to the Minister of Housing, the Honourable Member for Mesopotamia. As most people in this House will know, Minister Finnegan and I have been friends from our teenage years, which is a long, long, long time ago. It means that I have known his mother, Ms. Esmay, for those very many years, and, in fact, there is another dimension to the connection, she is the grandmother of my eldest! child. I, therefore, feel her death, personally, as well as of course very much so on behalf of her son, our colleague, and her other children. She was a fine lady, a tower of strength, tremendous mother, and wife, and certainly a sort of the earth Belizean. So, I am grateful to you for allowing me to associate myself with the condolences you expressed on behalf of the entire! Chamber. Thank you. PRESENTATION OF REPORT! FROM COMMITTEE HON. J. SALDIVAR (Minister of National Security): Mr. Speaker, I rise to present the Report from the Finance and Economic Development Committee! on the Alba Petrocaribe Belize Energy Limited Loan Motion, 2015. MR. SPEAKER: Honourable Members, that Report is ordered to lie on the Table.! !3 INTRODUCTION! OF BILL !1. Petrocaribe Loans Bill, 2015. HON. D. BARROW (Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and Economic Development): Mr. Speaker, I rise to introduce a Bill for an Act to make special provisions for borrowing money from Alba Petrocaribe (Belize Energy) Limited; and to provide for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. !The Bill has the recommendation of the Cabinet. And perhaps I should say a few words in explanation upon the introduction of this Bill. I noticed that on the news last night, some of the people from the other side had all sorts of absolutely untrue things to say, kind of continuation of the effort that we saw right from the start, to demonize the government with respect to the Petrocaribe funding and signaling their intention once again, to try to derail what has been a wonderful initiative that has powered development and transformation all across this country. (Applause) Mr. Speaker, we are not! going to allow that to happen. We have come to this House. There was just the Report from the Committee with respect to the latest Resolution, the latest Motion that we introduced into this Chamber with respect to Petrocaribe Funds. We explained time and again, the peculiar nature of the arrangement. The fact that it is not properly provided for, in terms of the currents laws on our statute book, the Finance and Audit (Reform) Act, and that every effort we have made in terms of bringing before this House, retro-respective loan motions to validate the borrowing, supplementary Bills, now Acts, to in fact, retro-respectively again, validate the spending under Petrocaribe. Everything that we’ve done has set out on each occasion every last detail of the spending done by way of Petrocaribe to make sure that there is utter and complete transparency with respect to what has been taken place by way of the transformation. Notwithstanding that, I repeat, there has been this insistence on the part of those on the other side that they will do everything to try to take away from the country of Belize, the tremendous boom, the! tremendous windfall that Petrocaribe represents. They are advised by lawyers who pick at every last little thing they can find to try to question and to quarrel with Petrocaribe. It is in that context that our own legal advisors made the recommendation to us that we now pass a special Act to deal with Petrocaribe and the funds flowing there from, in a way that will make the provisions that we simply can’t extract a piece out of the current legislation dealing with loans and dealing with the spending of loan monies. So, that is all this is Bill is seeking to do. Consolidate what has already happen, retro- respectively, validate what has happen by way of this specific Act, focusing on and dealing exclusively with Petrocaribe and provide that going forward, there is now the authority of the House to borrow in the peculiar circumstances that prevent us from beforehand, bringing to the House the details of the borrowing since we can’t know what the sums are going to be, given the sliding scale, given the, as I! said the peculiarity of the arrangement. I won’t even call his name, one Member on the other side, you know let me try to restrain myself, said that under this Bill, if it were to be passed, I would be able to write a Petrocaribe cheque to my family. How ridiculous! How absolutely outrageous! Mr. Speaker, if this Bill is passed, all it does is to put beyond question our ability, the authority, the jurisdiction to continue to borrow from APBEL, to continue to make use of the Petrocaribe Funds. All the monies will still be a part of the Consolidate Revenue Fund of this country. The Central !4 Bank will continue to keep the monies in the special account. Every time there is any withdrawal to continue to fund the transformation of this country, it goes through the Ministry of Finance under the complete supervision oversight of the Financial Secretary and all the officials in the Ministry of Finance, who have time and again, come before the nation to say, this is all above the board and here are the details. It cannot change as well the oversight that Venezuela, continues to maintain over the funds. This is a bilateral program and we account to Venezuela. And unlike them who diverted the $20 million for Housing, (Applause) taking the Venezuelans completely by surprise, we, periodically, send them or meet with them, and provide them with the figures, with all the details of the spending. We will continue to do that.

  • Supreme Court Claim No. 376 of 2005
    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF BELIZE, A.D. 2005 CLAIM NO. 376 SAID MUSA Claimant BETWEEN AND ANN­MARIE WILLIAMS HARRY LAWRENCE REPORTER PRESS LIMITED Defendants __ BEFORE the Honourable Abdulai Conteh, Chief Justice. Mr. Kareem Musa for the claimant. Mr. Dean Barrow S.C. for the defendants. __ JUDGMENT Introduction Given the dramatis personae in this case which, by any account, contains an unusual cast, I had during the hearing constantly to remind myself that this was a trial of a claim in a court of law and not a political trial, whatever this may mean. On the one hand, is arrayed the Prime Minister and leader of one of the political parties (the PUP), who has his son as his attorney. Ranged on the other side is the Leader of the Opposition and the leader of the other main political party (the UDP) as the attorney for the defendants of whom the second defendant, Mr. H. 1 Lawrence admitted, albeit, under cross examination, that he was a founding member of the UDP. Mr. Lawrence who struck me as an honest witness now says his newspaper, The Reporter, supports no political party and has no partisan agenda. However, given the persons involved in this case, the political overtones of the case could not be missed. However, I need hardly say that this is a court of law and the issues joined between the parties are to be decided only in accordance with the law and evidence, and nothing more and nothing less. 2. Mr. Said Musa, the claimant in this case, is the Prime Minister of Belize, the Area Representative of the Fort George Division in the House of Representatives, leader of the People’s United Party (PUP), one of the two main political parties in the country, as well as a member of the bar with the rank of a Senior Counsel.

  • Election 2012-Descriptive Stastical Analysis-1
    DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS 2012 General Elections By Myrtle Palacio INTRODUCTION This is a generalized descriptive statistical analysis of the 2012 General Elections. Using 2008 as the base year for comparison with the 2012 Elections, the analysis will scrutinize the electoral divisions by administrative district. Voter turnout will be targeted in place of pure numbers primarily for uniformity, as the voter populations of electoral divisions are not equal, and may cause the outcome to be perceived as misleading. For example in Toledo West, the variance of win is 1,297 and in Fort George it is 487. In terms of pure numbers Toledo West demonstrates a party popularity of nearly three times that of Fort George. However the outcomes for both are nearly the same when the percentage is utilized: the PUP candidate in Toledo West garnered 62.45% voter popularity and the PUP candidate in Fort George garnered 61.92%. Voter turnout and party popularity indicate voter participation at the polls and to a great extent communicates voter behaviour or attitude; and the outcomes in the examples clearly conveys that nearly two- thirds of the Voters wanted the PUP. The data for this exercise come primarily from two tables in the Appendix, namely Appendix i “Summary Result of General Elections 1979 to 2012” and Appendix ii “Election Outcome by Division Party and Voter Participation”. Table ii compares the voter turnout of 2008 with that of the 2012 election by party and by division. The source for the tables and appendices are my recent publications and papers and the Elections and Boundaries Department for 2012 election result.
