If da no soh

Deputy Philloughby

Obviously Phillip Willoughby did not take our advice from last week, as a result of that he had to sit and listen and watch as Channel 7 made fun of his election as Deputy Mayor.  Here is a bit of what they had to say about Philloughby: “He’s always up for an interview – even when he clearly shouldn’t be anywhere within 100 feet of a microphone. But, regardless, there he is, every time – rushing in – superman cap and all – where any other politician would fear to tread.”  Had the man taken our advice, he would have avoided the pain of once again becoming the brunt of the joke.

And here at  If da no so… we feel that Philloughby’s election played out  perfect for “Z” who we know is looking for a deputy  who will do one thing and that is, sign and no ask no questions.

Missing in Action

And speaking of the Belize City Council, aren’t we supposed to be paying stipends for 10 counsellors?  Don’t we pay them thousands to attend a monthly meeting?  How is it that of the 10 persons elected to office only 7 of them can show up for a meeting?  Perhaps the Minister of Local Government might need to do an appraisal of these counsellors before allowing cheques to be cut when it appears as if they are abandoning their responsibility to the Citizens of the City.

Sorry Anwar

Here at “If da no So…” our staff works overtime to get it right.  We know that many of our readers enjoy the usual tone of our commentaries and look forward to a good shush from time to time.  These days our desk here at “If da no So … “ is swamped with information that comes to us from people who are fed up with the UDP and this Barrow Administration.   Given the volume of information that comes in to us each week,  we  work overtime trying to ensure that we verify our facts.  Some weeks ago, it seems that one may have gotten away.   See, we were told that Belizean passports are once again up for sale and that Mister Anwar Barrow and Mr. Said Perdomo were involved.   Perhaps this one got away from our fact checkers and for this we apologise to Anwar Barrow and Said Perdomo.   We have also been advised that Anwar Barrow and/or any company affiliated with him do not have an arrangement to sell cellular phones to BTL and if our record was indeed inaccurate, we offer our sincerest apologies.   We are sorry if we caused you any pain and we thank you for reading “if da no so… “  No haad feelings right?

Ayz Haad

From the time Minister Patrick started quarrelling with the President of SJC and Father Leslie on television people have been telling him to slow down and cool off and stop pic quarrrel.  We thought he did, we really thought he did when he got up in the house and basically beg pardon for his youthful hubris.  We really believed he was a man who thought like his Party supporter Wellington Ramos who believe that their is nothing wrong in admitting when you make a mistake or when something in not working.   We really believe that our little minister had turned a page and for this we were proud, because here at “If da no So…,” we believe deep down inside our little Patrick is a good guy.  But Laad fu he ayz haad.  Why he neva listen to the teachers union man?  Why didn’t he postpone the Education Bill?  He could have waited so that the teachers and everyone could have seen the amendments that went to committee on Monday couldn’t he?  Now all di school pickni deh wah outa school Friday sayk a Patrick.  If da no so…

What’s up with Lois and the Board at Social Security?

What is the matter with these people?  Don’t they know that Government is broke?  Don’t they know that we are close to a depression?  Don’t they know that life haada out ya?  How could the Social Security Board approve money a $300,000 parking lot?  Miss Lois no realize that that this is poor people money?  Man we need to stop with the foolishness and take care of the people’s money.  At $100 a month, 250 of our senior citizens could have received allowances for one year.  Please man, let us stop the waste.  Social Security in Belmopan did not need a $300,000 parking lot.  If da no so ….

Say it Ain’t So

It had better not be true that just when the PM is asking Belizeans for patience and understanding that a Super Minister from the North is about to get a fancy new ride valuing more than $100,000.  We are reliably informed that this very expensive vehicle is en route from the US.  We are also hearing of a 100 foot yacht is sitting in Conway, Texas about to be shipped to Belize.  The moment it arrives we want customs to value this vessel and then turn over the information to the integrity commissions so that no Minister of government can lay claim.  What ever happen to personal enrichment?  .  If da no so ….

We live in a democracy Minister…

Something is going on in Santa Familia in Cayo and we at If da no so sees this as no laughing matter.  Mr. Dionisio Cano the UDp elected Chariman  left and went to the Unied States, he was away for  about 5 months .  Upon his return he tried to assume his position as chairman only to discover that he was replaced.   We know of no election by the Ministry of Rural Development to replace any village council chairman.  It had better not be that the Area Representative interfered.  Alvin Penner need to remember that in this country we still practice democracy.  If da no so …

Glass House

Julet Thimbrel, Beverly Castillo, Audrey Wallace, Leila Peryfitte, Alfrain Suppal, Dale McDougal, Pat Henry, Alfonso Noble, Elsa Paz, Said B. Guerra.  Stop throwing stones when you live in a  glass house.  If da no so ….
