And while Coye espouses collective responsibility, right now government had better tell that to a U.S. law firm that's demanding payment for services provided in trying to float the failed bond offering. Free Belize-dot-org this afternoon posted a document showing that Belize is a hard pay star in the books of Hunton and Williams, a Florida based legal services firm.
The letter dated yesterday, September 15, is written to financial secretary Hugh Mcsweeney demanding past due payment for half a million dollars in expenses for bond related services it provided. The firm's Allen Moreland tells Mcsweeney that he is under intense pressure to collect the expenses but he has been unable to reach the fin. sec. by telephone. If government doesn't pay, Moreland warns that the matter will be handed over to the collection department.
