Enriquez Questions PM’s Commitment to Redistricting Exercise

Responding to Prime Minister Briceño’s remarks, Enriquez argues that they reveal a lack of commitment. He believes that the claimants shouldn’t have been the ones pushing for the redistricting process to be completed. Here’s what he had to say.

“Every time the prime minster speaks and say things like that, it shows the lack of commitment that it was their responsibility. We did not have to be the ones finding the resources to carry them to court. If they were committed firmly in doing that it would have +happened. So to try to skirt that and evade the responsibility shows very poorly on his part.”

“Do you believe that with an appeal, all of this can be disposed of through the court ahead of March twelfth?”

“Probably not, but what this is doing is to create an awareness in the wider public about an election that is being called, that they are participating in an election that is not respecting the electoral boundaries as was called for in the constitution of Belize. That is our fight, to correct it and have a democracy in which political parties respect the will of the people as enshrined in the constitution.”
