Hypocrites of the Week

Our choice for Hypocrite of the Week for this issue cannot be limited to any one man or woman, as the case may be. This week, shadowed by the passing of Dwain Davis, all fingers are pointing at Mayor Zenaida Moya and Prime Minister Dean Barrow for the part they played in his demise. The black bow on City Hall and the words of condolence from the Prime Minister are just empty gestures from two UDP hypocrites with no equal, who both played a part in destroying a man because of the games they played.

By all indications, Dwain Davis was an honourable man, yet Mayor Zenaida Moya managed to embroil him in the tangled web of her own shenanigans in City Hall. He entered City Hall a man of integrity, and left under a black cloud of suspicion with criminal charges like a yoke around his neck. Davis’ association with the Mayor of Belize City led to his demise, there can be no doubt about that.

The Barrow faction of the UDP, which vowed to deal with Zenaida by any means necessary, also played a role in Davis’ passing. Word reaching the Belize Times is that on no less than three occasions, emissaries from the Prime Minister visited with Davis and tried to pressure him into providing evidence against the Mayor.

And in the end, the stress was too much for Davis and he succumbed to a massive stroke.

Belizeans will not soon forget the hypocrisy of Mayor Zenaida Moya and her political boss, Prime Minister Dean Barrow. Both are now crying tears for the man they both helped to destroy. Responsibility for the death of Dwain Davis rests squarely on the shoulders of Moya and Barrow, this week’s hypocrites and worse; much, much worse.
