Can the honourable gentlemen say whether he will intercede on behalf of the poor workers of BML who have lost their livelihoods and means of survival because the UDP City Council will not pay its bills?

Would the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance please say if in hindsight he regrets paying his ex-wife millions of taxpayer dollars in just one year to be GOB’s attorney?

Would the Minister of Works be able to say why he is cleaning drains on the north-side of Belize City as part of the south-side rejuvenation project?
