P.U.P. mayoral candidate appears on Open Your Eyes

And it’s down to the wire for P.U.P. aspirant, Dr Cecil “Chubby” Reneau who made his scheduled guest appearance on our Open Your Eyes Show. Incumbent Mayor Zenaida Moya was a no-show. It is Reneau’s first bid at electoral politics and he hopes to unseat the embattled mayor who has had to face a string of internal scandals at City Hall. This morning Reneau took on questions on the hot button issues in Belize City in the hope of swaying the voters.

“As a resident, I would like to see street lights around my area, especially Port Loyola. I would like them to put their lights on cement pole instead of the wooden pole which is easier for the hit down than when it’s on a cement pole.”

“I have been all over this city and basically what you have shown is what residents are saying. They want the basic services that an elected City Council should provide and it’s not rocket science. You do not need a PhD or a Masters Degree to do it.”

“I want to see the traffic division cause for instance I live on Rectory Lane and that’s a one way street and I see people going fast around the curve, Southern Foreshore and parked different ways and I feel like if the law would enforce the traffic and issue parking tickets, that money could go towards the city itself.”

Dr. Cecil Reneau
“Our vision is clearly spelt out in our manifesto. We have a seven point agenda. You asked what is the vision, that is the foundation of it. The other part of the vision is to examine the management of our people’s money. Without proper management and planning, there is no manifesto that can survive. It first begins with good governance. This city, the revenue sources that the City Council attracts money from are adequate to maintain this city if the money is managed properly and you place the right technical persons in the positions that they ought to be.”
