And we also asked Garcia, who doubles as the area rep for Belize Rural Central, her thoughts on the case of alleged election fraud in Cayo North. Many of the names on the PUP's transfer list came from her constituency. So are her Cayo colleagues conspiring to drain her constituency of faithful PUP's? She refrained from saying much:
Dolores Balderamos Garcia, Minister of Human Development
"My response is that I will not comment on the politics of it, but I will remind you that I am the duly elected, I'm the elected representative, but I am also his standard bearer for the next election. Having gone through an endorsement convention in July, I will give no further comment."
Courtney Menzies:
"Does it concern you that it's your constituents?"
Dolores Balderamos Garcia, Minister of Human Development
"No comment."
Reporter:
"You're doing your ground work to ensure that during that transfer period, you too up your number of voters?"
Dolores Balderamos Garcia, Minister of Human Development
"Well, since you're pressing me, since you're pressing me, you go and look at the numbers and see the amount of work that has been done in Belize Rural Central for the transfers during the transfer period and the ongoing registration of 18 year old and new voters. You go and look it up."
