Mayor versus U.D.P. heard in court

Another hearing before the Supreme Court is one of the cases of Mayor Zenaida Moya Flowers, in which she is challenging the constitutionality of the meeting of the National Party Council of the United Democratic Party on October third, which expelled her. This was after she was criminally charged with twenty-two counts of Uttering a False Document and two counts of Violating City Council Regulations. Her statement on that day was sensational and her fallout with Prime Minister Dean Barrow was no secret. This is what she had to say as she exited the court on October first following the charges.

Zenaida Moya Flowers, Belize City Mayor
“Everybody knows that I do not have a cozy relationship with the Prime Minister, with the leader of the party. They know that fully well. This is not something new man. This is something that we all know from the convention. Zenaida is not somebody that is a puppet. We all that know I am not a puppet. Everybody know dat Zenaida dah noh wah puppet. And from the convention day they wanted to ensure that I was not the mayoral candidate for that party. But the people had their say and the people had their way and I have been elected and I will ensure that I continue serving the people of Belize City. I feel it that somebody doesn’t have balls when they are going to come after me when I’m on my bed delivering a child.”
