Not quite a politician yet, but BNE Trust asks for Landy Burns to resign
The three trustees of the Belize Natural Energy Trust have called for the resignation of the chairman of the Trust, Orlando Burns, who did not renew the contract of the general manager, Deborah Sewell, and instead chose to advertise the post. The BNE trustees have walked out in protest and the disbursement of funds has stopped. We don’t know if Burns will resign but the People’s United Party today issued a release, lending support to Sewell. The PUP says that Sewell’s contract was not renewed because she would not bow to pressure from the Burns. Burns is the United Democratic Party’s aspirant in the Orange Walk East Division. The PUP also says this is a glaring conflict of interest because Burns, who controls the deciding vote on the Board of Trustees, stands to benefit from the use of Trust’s funds for his own agenda. The release also states that there is cause for concern over Sewell’s claim that Burns and other U.D.P. cronies on the Board intend to use the Trust as a slush fund to benefit only U.D.P. supporters.
BIG PAPA DRAMA…………
I think he should be fired not ask to resign also charges need to be brought against him for those unaccounted desk have not even been elected as yet and already starts the corruption maybe Mr. Barrow knows where the desks are since he is so big on transparency and accountability.
Rootsman, that would be ideal, but I know the UDP wont fire him. Corruption at every level!
Barrow will not send him home cause he is apart of the corruption……this government is known for that. Imagine what all he wa do if he gets to Belmopan. He probably suck our eyes out and only he and his family will survive mein these ppl need to get shoot.
Fire him! To think that the others bat no lashes when they talk about transparency and accountability would side by this so called politican. What a waste of resources.
