Ombudsman Sworn in for Fourth Term
Lionel Arzu from Punta Gorda starts his fourth term as Ombudsman today. Having renewed his contract with the government, Arzu took the oath this morning at Belize House in Belmopan. But there is still no Contractor General since Godwin Arzu’s contract was not renewed. Late last year, his re-appointment was withdrawn from the Senate on the grounds that he had failed to present annual reports as required. A few names have been floated but as far as we know, that post remains vacant.
