Belize's Cabinet

[mahogany sister]

It is my hope that the Cabinet of Belize truly represents the Country of Belize and every district have a member represented in the Cabinet.....I hope the City ministers are not the ones dominating the Cabinet...the country of Belize have been washed over with a red tide and every one wants a voice....but I am so confident that the new PM will find a way!

One thing the new government must be cognizant of is the reality is that we know is that PUP is like the devils workshop and idleness will open mass opportunity to unleash the propaganda machinery and they know how to twist and turn the truth, so UDP must put forth a machinery to offset this. I know they They should anticipate it and while they try desperately to hide the millions of dollars stolen from tax payers.

i agree with you..representation is needed from all districts. Its been a few days and already the radio waves were sounding with complaints about bounce checks from the goverment. Seems the money is all but dried up.....and seems a lot were issued promised dollars before election.

I still have faith that these guys can get the ball rolling and keep it that way..

As much as I like Salva, he's a bit of a loose cannon and I'm sure Mr. Barrow took that into consideration. Remember that trouble he and Dito Juan got into some time ago? The UDP doesn't need that right now. I think Mr. Barrow made excellent choices.

True...its the fact that he is a "loose cannon" that worries me, cause up until yesterday, he was dead-set that he would get a Ministry and now this announcement kinda have me worrried that he would make a "Big" thing out of it...but maybe he has matured over the last 10 years

 

[bushman]

belize has a fresh start and keep the vibes positive and put the past in the history books and go forward.
i heard the comments about quitar but that applied to the greedy inside GUYS, let them fry but that is less then 1% of 1% and don't make it big news, give them a chance to do what is right.
see how the first 100 day honeymoon goes then make adjustments and try to keep things positive and not complain about the baad situation left.
don't beat yourselves up and be your own enemy.

FIX the ROADs

 

[mahogany sister]

Okay my only concern with all this is that I am seeing some old heads back in some same ole positions whose job is to create change the people want.....hmmmmmmm and identifiable nepotism the PM said he would stay away from.....

Time to retire the old stock and start looking for some qualified educated people who will challenge the status quo. The worst thing a politician can do is to surround himself with YES men and people....you want people who will let you know, respectfully, hey we might want to change things!

The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result! Using the same people run the same ministeries and exepecting a different results might signal a loss 5 years from now!!!

Anyway, I trust the PM will do his best for Belize!

 

[madarass]

FIX the ROADs

PUP shoulda done that over the past 10 years. How come you weren't hollering that before?

Expecting different results than who, the PUP? Of course there will be different results. Mind you, Belize was a thriving nation under the last UDP government. The cost of living was much lower, crime was down, sports flourished, and there was advancement in infrastructure. I'm not saying the last UDP government was perfect but in my opinion they were effective. Barrow has weeded out a few bad eggs and this is why Salva didn't get a ministry. The one guy I really like who is an honorable young Belizean is Patrick Faber and putting him in charge of education was a great move.

 

[mahogany sister]

Listen madarass...I am a UDP supporter, but I am not a YES person...I am a Belizean first! I call it as I see it....we dont want to repeat the steps of the former government....people voted out PUP.......


UDP must hold on to power at least 10 years to turn things around...we dont want business as usual......we want change!!!

 

[madarass]

But business as usual under the last UDP government is change for the better. There will always be room for improvement and I agree they need 10 years to make it really happen. Change won't happen overnight. Crawling out of the hell hole the PUP dragged us into will not be an easy task. We the people have to be patient and realize that everything will not be reversed by the next election but if there is ample progress then the UDP will get another turn. Dean has already committed to bringing in new faces and grooming young outstanding citizens into the UDP to be the future leaders of our country. It hasn't even been a week yet. Let's see what happens.

Like I said, I put trust in his wisdom......

 

[zpania]

The one guy I really like who is an honorable young Belizean is Patrick Faber and putting him in charge of education was a great move.

I'm no prophet but I'd like to make a prediction: The One Laptop per Child
proposal will return to the table as a valid program worth embracing. ( I can just see it now:young Mr. Faber making an impassioned plea before his colleagues.And they reluctant to touch anything BLUE , looking quite bewildered and stunned)

And as much as some may anticipate the negative reaction from the Opposition (PUP), it will happen.


The sad reality is that sooner or later many of those laptops will
mysteriously disappear. :smoke


Then the drama begins....arty
