Courtenay says PM is a very special type of individual
Eamon Courtenay
The case against US Capital and the Government of Belize, at its inception, was brought by SATIIM and five buffer communities. Still, at his press conference on Wednesday Prime Minister Dean Barrow made it exceptionally clear that while he is quite happy to host discussions, SATIIM will not be invited to the table. Attorney Eamon Courtenay told News Five today that the PM must be, “a very special type of individual.”
Eamon Courtenay, Attorney for SATIIM et al
“I was taken aback by what the prime minister had to say. First of the prime minister surely has read the order and the order is in very simple terms and it says that the government of Belize must consult with all the claimants and SATIIM is a claimant in this order. The prime minister is well aware that SATIIM is authorized by resolutions of the villages to represent SATIIM in this claim and in negotiations with the government. It is therefore very difficult to understand how it is that the prime minister of this country can stand up and say that SATIIM is not to be consulted and worse that he will not be speaking to them. Why is that strange? Prior to my taking up this case, it was Dean Oliver Barrow, the current Prime Minister, who represented SATIIM in this case against US Capital. The prime minister represented SATIIM seeking to stop US Capital from doing any seismic testing. Now he is in government and he has jumped to the other side and is working for the oil company. He was there first saying that SATIIM had a right to come to court to stop what was going on. Now he is in government and saying that he is not even going to speak to SATIIM who was his former client. Whose interest is the prime minister serving? Which side of the table is he on? One minute he is for SATIIM, the next minute he is for the oil company. It is a special type of individual who can take both positions and feel comfortable with himself. The Bible speaks to that type of thing.”
When you go to the meeting, belly crawl and kiss whatever Ali orders you to do.
It is best for the country, best for Ali’s honor.
He might like mooing, try that.
If too difficult try baaa.
That’s called being self-serving, greedy and corrupt Eamon. To the detriment of this country, all of you are guilty of this act as demonstrated by your corrupt P.M. and his political party. All of you jump on the band wagon when it’s financially lucrative for you . A few years from now, you might be on the other side of the fence doing the same thing. The losers in this are the folks who go to you corrupt attorneys ,(albeit members of government) believing that you all are representing them to the best of your abilities.
Remember what you just said Mr Eamon: ” The Bible speaks to that type of thing”. This very phase will be coming your way soon. When you say that, it makes you an instant hypocrite. If you are so sensitive to what the Bible says, why dont you apply that to other cases we are dealing with? The Gays for instance. The Bible speaks abundantly to that as well, and I understand there are some PUP lawyers very much fighting for the homo community….you see? HYPOCRITE!
