She's a union firebrand but Zenaida Moya's days in the public service may be numbered. The Public Service Commission has summoned Moya to appear tomorrow for a dismissal hearing.
The official complaint is that Moya, who works in the Ministry of Economic Development, called in sick on April 22nd, but she was on the news that night in front of BTL, awarding a certificate of corruption to the Prime Minister and then calling for him to step down. That didn't win her any friends in Belmopan and Moya's boss Hugh O'Brien wrote her a disciplinary letter warning that she had broken the rules and was out of line.
Since then, Moya's attorney Dean Barrow wrote to Public Services Commission boss Justin Palacio saying that she didn't violate any of the terms of her employment and she's simply being persecuted for exercising her freedom of expression. The strength of that argument will be tested tomorrow when Moya appears before the commission tomorrow along with Barrow.
If she is dismissed, she would leave the public service without any pension or gratuity.
