"Which one of your councillors or who among you do you favor for this role?"
Bernard Wagner, Belize City Mayor
"That's a very tough question but I certainly look at Mr.Miller, Eluide Miller, he has been beside me for quite some time and he has worked his way up from being a, a intern to a staff working in the finance department to a councillor to a deputy mayor so there has been gradual succession coming up and so we continue to see how again it is up to the party and I don't know where that will end."
Reporter
"So everyone wants to have a succession plan and you already mentioned someone that you favor, do you think that he would be able to continue the work that you have been able to do over the past 9 years?"
Bernard Wagner, Belize City Mayor
"But ofcourse, he has been one of the closest persons in terms of being around me and seeing the sort of relationships that I have both at the grassroots level, both at the business community level, both at the public service level and he has been able to learn everyday we learn, even me di learn still."
