And today, in response to the public dismay over the revelations, the Prime Minister today, kind of out of the blue, posted the following on all his social platforms.
Quote, "We have a compact with the Belizean people that we will be different. We're going to do a thorough investigation, we're going to get to the bottom of it, and if there is any wrongdoing, people will have to answer." End quote.
And, while the PM vows to take stern action, his Minister and Ministers of State are just keeping their heads low-because big shots are being fired. Here's how Minister of State Cervantes meekly put it today:
Ramon Cervantes, Minister of State Education
"Well as far as I know the Prime Minister has ordered an audit of the ministry and those same transactions you are talking about so I think that is a step in the right direction to get a clear and true picture of what transpired."
