John Saldivar

Late this evening Opposition Leader Moses Shyne Barrow responded to the designation placed on John Saldivar. Barrow says, quote The Opposition denounces corruption by Government Officials in any form. We treat very serious the allegations of corruption being made by the U.S. State Department against former Minister John Saldivar. Notwithstanding our zero tolerance of corruption by public officials we must be guided by the fundamental principles of due process and in the Belize Judicial system all are innocent until proven guilty. The Opposition will take steps to gather all the facts presented by the U.S. State Department and the accused as we determine the way forward to implement our anti corruption policy in a fair and just manner demonstrating to the Nation we have zero tolerance for corruption.
