And if you thought you heard Opposition Leader Shyne sigh knowingly when he mentioned that his party colleague John Saldivar was the police Minister when Fareed Ahmad was killed - you weren't hearing things.
Barrow continues his campaign to discredit and disavow John Saldivar and all his deeds. Today, he amplified his call for the government to criminally charge the former Minister:
Shyne Barrow, Leader of the Opposition
"It is not enough to say oh there is an active investigation, charge or not. I see some people saying always oh we need a strong opposition - the government plays a role in that. John Saldivar is an existential threat to the opposition and the government has an active investigation against him and they are not concluding that? They're just going to leave that open? Again, we expected different. We expect follow through."
Today, in reposes to the manifold attacks from his party leader, John Saldivar posted the following: "It is unprecedented and in my view wrong what the Party Leader has done. However, out of respect for the office that he holds I will not respond in kind. I will say though that the people of Belmopan know a different John Saldivar from the one that the Party Leader now paints after having travelled the country with me during his leadership campaign….I also look forward to the National Convention which is constitutionally due in October of this year." End quote.
