LadyvilleLadyville GasGas StationStation robbedrobbed againagain The Highwayman Gas Station in Ladyville was hit yet again July 30 as the office opened a little after 6 a.m. Robbers were bare faced with no attempt to mask their identity but with great strategy to take down the entire week- end sales. Since the place has been hit before, caus- ing great bodily injury to the owner in the past, the establishment had installed security cameras that are highly visible. The robbers were oblivious to the cameras and made no attempt to conceal their identity, said one eyewitness.We expect them to be picked up shortly said one employee. We hope they get back the $40,000 that was taken from the safe. Highwayman is a valued distributor of this newspaper. Another key Independent depot, Bodale Shop was also recently robbed and owner Dale was stabbed repeatedly in his back. He is slowly recovering. We wish him well.

The poster, sponsored by the NCA and funded by the British High Commission small grants programme, has been printed for VOICE – the Representative Or- ganization of Older Persons in Belize, which is a newly formed organization that seeks to unite older persons in collective action to raise awareness of their con- cerns and to lobby for an im- provement in their quality of life. The VOICE organization was formed in 2006 and came about as a recommendation made by the participants of a forum entitled “The Human Rights and Funda- mental Freedoms of Older Per- sons in Belize”, facilitated by con- sultants from PAHOI/WHO in Washington, USA. At this forum, older persons unanimously agreed that they wanted the opportunity to voice their concerns on all issues af- fecting their lives and therefore set in motion the formation of their representative organiza- tion.

  • 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.

  • Big Game, Small Town Clientelism and Democracy in the Modern Politics of Belize (1954 to 2011)
    Big Game, Small Town Clientelism and Democracy in the Modern Politics of Belize (1954 to 2011) Dylan Gregory Vernon A thesis submitted to University College London in candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Caribbean and Latin American Politics from the Institute of the Americas, University College London 2013 Declaration I, Dylan Gregory Vernon, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in my thesis. Dylan Gregory Vernon 2 Abstract Presenting Belize as an illustrative and critical case of clientelist democracy in the Commonwealth Caribbean, this thesis explores the origins of clientelist politics alongside the pre-independence birth of political parties, analyses its rapid expansion after independence in 1981 and assesses its implications for democratic governance. Based on qualitative research, including interviews with major political leaders, the thesis contends that, despite Belize’s positive post- colonial reputation for consolidating formal democracy, the concurrent expansion of clientelism, as both an electoral strategy and a mode of participation, ranks high among the worrying challenges affecting the quality of its democracy. Although intense party competition in a context of persistent poverty is central to explaining the trajectory of clientelism in Belize, the Westminster model of governance, the disappearance of substantive policy distinctions among parties and the embrace of neoliberal economic policies fuelled its expansion. Small- state size and multi-ethnicity have also been contributing factors. Even though the thousands of monthly dyadic transactions in constituencies are largely rational individual choices with short-term distributive benefits, the thesis concludes that, collectively, these practices lead to irrational governance behaviour and damaging macro-political consequences.
