On Friday we brought you a recap of the PUP's first 100 days in government. A round-up of triumphs, failures, and "re-do's" all before the first budget has been prepared.
And tonight Prime Minister John Briceno is speaking for himself, yes, largely complaining about the financial mess that he says the UDP left them in, but also highlighting the efforts of his ministries to make as much COVID-time incremental progress, as possible.
Hon. John Briceno- Prime Minister of Belize
"Our Health team is leading the way to flattening the Covid curve. We have amended the legislation to strengthen the Public Accounts Committee. Our agriculture team is aggressively promoting our farm to table policy. Our National Security Ministry is moving towards innovation. Our Foreign Trade Ministry is opening up markets for our products. Our Education Ministry is preparing for schools to open safely. And our economic recovery team are all hands on deck to implement our recovery strategy. Our vaccine plan is ready and being fine tuned for when the first vaccine arrives next month. These things were possible because we consulted and we are facing the challenges head on using the Plan Belize our north star. Let us continue to reach out to each other, especially the many struggling to put food on the table in this difficult time. Week by week we make progress."
PM Briceno told this newsroom that he would be having his first press conference this week, and we're waiting for that date.
