Opposition says there has been no meeting with Elvin Penner

Since the last email Penner sent to the media in late September, he has remained mum and away from the watchful eyes of the public. The opposition has called for his resignation or recall, and amid all that there are reports that Penner may be talking to the People’s United Party even though crossing the floor is not a possibility. News Five today asked the party’s deputy leader if there has been any contact with his party.

“I am not aware that any meeting was held with Elvin Penner, but my office door is open if Elvin Penner wants to come see us. I have no problem because he has a lot of information that is important for the Belizean people to be aware of. And if he wants to bring it to us to have us do it for him. There is no problem with that, but we haven’t had any contact with him—as far as I know.”
