Darrell Bradley on Living with Outcome of U.D.P. Recall Convention
Earlier today, we asked Darrell Bradley for a comment on the results of the July eleventh U.D.P. recall convention at the Bird Isle. Bradley, now a U.D.P. senator, was being positioned to become a candidate at a National Party Leader Convention if Patrick Faber was unsuccessful. Bradley has publicly stated that he is of the view that Faber is not the strongest leader for the party at this time. This afternoon, he told us that he maintains that position and while the party wants change, it will be done peacefully and respectfully.

St. Ignatius VP is First to Challenge G.O.B. Salary Cut in Court
The Belize National Teachers’ Union is fighting a legal battle against G.O.B.’s ten percent salary cut, and Vice Principal for the Saint Ignatius School in Belize City, Mario Rodriquez, has come forward as a nominal claimant in the case. The claim is that the Government of Belize has no legal authority to intervene in the private agreement made between a teacher and the managing authority, in this case the Catholic Schools. A favorable ruling has the potential to set precedents that could affect all teachers in a similar position. The first hearing was held this morning virtually, where the government was represented by attorney Iliana Swift. The Catholic public schools were represented by attorneys Samira Pott and Melissa Baldaramos-Mahler. Attorney Darrell Bradley gave us further details about the claim.

Faber Says Khalid Belisle’s Removal was an Injustice
The recent senatorial shuffle saw former Belmopan Mayor Khalid Belisle’s stint as a parliamentarian come to an abrupt end when he was replaced by former Senate President Darrell Bradley. The move was essentially to pave the way for Bradley’s likely ascent to leadership should a recall of Patrick Faber be successful. Belisle now appears to be collateral damage in the power struggle. When asked about the recent reordering of opposition senators, the incumbent U.D.P. leader says it was an injustice that fell Belisle.

“We know that the new Leader of the Opposition has shifted out one of the senators that you had originally chosen, in the name of Khalid Belisle, to replace him with Darrell Bradley. Are you comfortable with the senatorial lineup as they are?”
