And while the Mira political fallout is centered in Belmopan - for the PUP - the effect is dispersed nationwide.

When we spoke to the PUP area representative for Collet today we asked him what was his reaction when he saw the Mira payments. Here's what he told us.

JO:
"What was your first reaction when you saw the payments being made to the companies owned by the Mira family members from the Ministry of Defense?"

Devin Daly, Minister of State at the Ministry of Youth and Sports
"I believe I had the same sentiments as every other Belizean, you know, we wanted clarity. However, like I said, I am not a member of the Cabinet, and as a minister of state and as the area representative of Collet, I want what is best for my constituency and best for our ministry. And as you can see, these initiatives that we are pulling off now, that's what that speaks to."
