Ten Percent Salary Cut for all Ministers as of New Year’s Day

A ten percent salary cut will ring in the New Year for all Cabinet members.  The announcement was made this morning by Prime Minister Briceño who, after weighing the effects of the economic downturn, thought it prudent to shave off a fraction of the monthly wages his ministers are collecting.

“To show our commitment to a national effort, my cabinet will take a ten percent salary cut effect the first of January.  I have absolute faith in the strength of the Belizean people.  Together as Belizeans, we will rebound, we will rebuild and we will restore this beautiful jewel that is our sacred duty.”
