And while Barrow’s tone at the end was conciliatory, as he said, he won’t hold back on Fort George Representative Said Musa. And Musa accepted today his fate as lighting rod, battering ram and even most likely to be arrested. He said that he is not intimidated.
Rt. Hon. Said Musa,
“So yes they can attack me in this House and wherever they want to but the bottom line is that the Belizean people out there are waiting for them to act, to deal with their issues. To deal with their issues such as the high cost of living. That’s what the Belizean people are waiting for them to act on.
So go ahead, Mr. Prime Minister. I know they are talking about jail and all that, clearly the government intends to use all its political clout to try and jail me, to try and jail me – to the extent that they have gone as far as buy off the Director of Public Prosecutions to get him out of the way. This is what they’ve done. It shows they will stop at nothing. They will stop at nothing Mr. Speaker and I put this on the record because we know what’s going on. But bear in my mind that I will not be intimidated Mr. Prime Minister. You can come with all your threats and make all your moves. I will not be intimidated, I will speak my mind and I will speak what I believe to be in the best interest of the people of Fort George and the Belizean people.”
