Former U.D.P. minister fires back in mayor’s defense

But one man who is not holding back, is a former U.D.P. Minister who is now one of Moya’s attorneys. Hubert Elrington gave us his take.

Hubert Elrington, Attorney for Mayor Zenaida Moya Flowers
“The twenty-two charges of uttering, the charges are not even known to law, they don’t even exist in law. It shows you the malicious and worthless nature of the people that are setting up this. We are going to be moving to have all of these charges in relation to uttering thrown out on the ground that they are not known to law. They are inventing something. This is an invention and I have ten times more experience than any of them in the criminal courts, at least ten times; from Barrow right down.”

“The allegations were that Zenaida thief quarter million, under-deposit, di money missing.”

“Yes, I had expected them to put up or shut up. Today they come with some nonsense wasting the people time, disrespecting the country, disrespecting the mayor, making the country look really, really bad. We call this political cannibalism. In 2009 people are involving themselves in political cannibalism to make a point that I am more powerful than you or you are less powerful than me and all these stupid games that they are playing, you understand? That’s why the country is in a mess. Look at the killings, look at the amount of killings. You don’t even see Perdomo. So we are going to be taking the appropriate steps and we are going to be taking the appropriate action and the mayor and the city manager and the rest of them will be properly advised. They will not make any legal misstep because we think that what is happening here is a massive abuse of power on the part of the government. It’s a massive and shameful, disgraceful abuse of the judicial system on the part of the government of Belize and we are going to show that we are correct in making that assessment. It shows you the malicious and evil nature of some people and I have said that Esquivel faction, Net Vasquez—and I know what I am talking about. It’s Net Vasquez, it’s Esquivel and it’s Barrow. Those are the people that undermined and destroyed the United Democratic Party and the dream of Goldson cannot be realized. The dream of people like myself and Aikman cannot be realized because they are penny pinchers, they have no respect for the little man and they think they understand finances and the only man that really understand finance in that group was the Castillo who they were working for or who try and help them out. You know SanCas? That was the man with the brain.”
