Chebat Was Surprised but Expected the Shift
Chebat was moved from the Ministry of Health after there had been criticisms about his way of doing things. His C.E.O. left and another that was offered the job turned it down. So, when the announcement came last week that he’d been removed as Minister of Health, it didn’t seem to come as a surprise to some people who had been calling for it. But, today Chebat told News Five that the move caught him off guard.

“But, there’s no infighting?”
Michel Chebat
“There is none. As a matter of fact, I fully support Minister Bernard and I have put myself at his service, really, to answer any questions he may have. We’re one government, we’re here together to work to do the best we can for the people of Belize and I serve wherever the Prime Minister believes I’m best fit to serve.”
