N.T.U.C.B. Demands Independent Investigation of John Saldivar
The last time the unions collectively took to the streets was in 2005 when the P.U.P. was in government. The Saldivar scandal has stirred widespread anti-corruption calls and prompted the unions to activate. An investigation into the allegations of bribery and corruption dealings involving the disgraced former minister is among the list of demands of the National Trade Union Congress of Belize, though the call for no elections until demands are met, appear to go against the grain.
Marvin Mora, President, N.T.U.C.B
“No elections until the start of an independent investigation into alleged wrongdoing by former Minister of National Security Honorable John Saldivar and all other named public officials, public servants and individuals. Among those other discussion of those recent events relations to Honorable John Saldivar and his name being mentioned and of course some evidence of sort being provide we believe that it is high time that this matter be address properly and in a manner that would give back the integrity to the democratic process of elections in our country.”
