    First of all, organizing an international flight is not a one man operation, several people have to be involved, and Belize is not so big. Secondly, anyone who has the means to organize said plane in Belize must be quite wealthy. Again, Belize is small, and even smaller is the population of Belizeans who have that kind of money/influence. Ironically (or not), most of those affluent people have connections to the government on either the Red or Blue side. Sounds like a cover-up to me…

    Of course. Someone’s pet overplayed his/her hand & these guys are trying to spin this tale to protect the ungrateful twit. Give him or her up!!!

    Based on information revealed thus far, it seems to me that the irregularities uncovered at the PGIA with the Asians, were the doings of the immigration officers on duty at the time. Until further evidence is unearthed, I cannot implicate the authorities/ politicians in this one………..yet!

  4. Sugarboy says:

    Why do we have soo much employees at PGIA during the day? it seems that it just requires so few people to land a plane and get them cleared, so it can be concluded that we can get rid of more than half of the personnel.

    Even the blind can see that–the deaf had also heard–they are GUILTY…

    When it comes to any goverment institution whether it be the Tourism Board, Social Secuity, Customs department or Immigration….the belizean worker gets the job and believe they want to do their best at this job, but there is always a higher person ahead of you weather it be a person in the government or a higher official that prevents you from doing your best. This people on top are the ones that run the show and the rest have no choice to agree and do what the higher authority wants you to do and so what happens the common people always end up getting the worse and the ones on top get free….

    I can’t believe the responses from the ministers…caught red-handed! They can’t deny what’s been going on (for decades) and sound perturbed that the media wants to question them! It’s well known that power corrupts, but heavens! these guys have no shame at all! It’s like, OK, you caught us, but…you can’t hold me responsable, because it’s not really my job to question anyone else’s job, performance (or lack thereof). I’m really ashamed of the collossal mess that’s become of our country, and that mess has it’s origins where Great Britiain happily gave over the facilitation of order to our people. Who really, can say they’re proud Belizean? Also, I predict that expositive journalism in Belize is endangered at the least, and have no doubt that bold journalists are in danger. God help us.
