And in other government news, Minister of Infrastructure Development Julius Espat recently criticized the press release coming out of the Northern caucus meeting that took place weeks ago which endorsed the Speednet acquisition. He said the northern caucus should not have done that because the cabinet had agreed to reserve disclosing its position until a final decision is made.
We asked the Chairlady of the Northern Caucus, Corozal Bay's Thea Garcia Ramirez about it today and she clearly didn't want to get into it.

"Well I think cabinet speaks to government, speaks to the government of Belize and I think the northern caucus correct me if I am wrong, a PUP Caucus, it is a party caucus and so what might be discussed in Cabinet notwithstanding as a block we, we retain the right of having our voices heard but I do want to say that is not what we are here for today. I would really want us to highlight the good work that is happening during women's month."
