And in other news, back in August, we brought you an investigative report on the David L Mckoy building in Belmopan, which currently houses the Social Security Board. Since it was opened a year ago, it has been budgeted for 3 million dollars worth of retrofitting and repairs - and all that money coming out of the workers' purse.
7News did a four part investigative series trying to determine what went wrong and who is to blame for this massive multi million dollar gaffe. We found that the price point of the contract, the design and orientation of the building, and the type of glass windows used were all critical factors.
On Saturday, we asked the prime minister whether someone would be held culpable - here's what he said:
Hon. John Briceno, Prime Minister
"Maybe you should ask the UDP because they are the ones that created that problem. Certainly we would have to take a look at it and that's something for the Social Security Board to look at, not the government, remember that they have some form or sort of independence and I'm sure that if they find that there was negligence on the part of anybody, being it the previous board, the previous chairman, or anybody, and there is the evidence for negligence, I do believe that they should be held responsible."
