Opposition Objects to Proposed Auditor General Appointment

Opposition Leader Moses “Shyne” Barrow has strongly opposed the appointment of Maria Rodriquez as Auditor General. Barrow claims Rodriquez is unqualified, alleging that the university from which she says she earned her master’s degree doesn’t offer an online business administration course and doesn’t accept students from Belize. He also criticized her administrative skills. These were just a few of the points Barrow raised during his passionate forty-five-minute speech in the House of Representatives.

“It starts with illegal promotions. There is evidence that Ms. Rodriquez was promoted illegally twice. If something starts wrong it continues wrong and it will only end wrong. The office of the Auditor General has been a problem for this country for quite some time. This people United Party government promised in its Manifesto to fix the office of the Auditor General and they have not done that. The country has been without a functioning auditor general for the last four years. And this attempt to appoint a PUP crony. I believe family with the Corozal Southeast.”

“I believe the Leader of the opposition has his information incorrect, Ms. Rodriquez is not a family member of mine. And she is originally from Corozal South East proudly. I am correcting you. That is an incorrect information like presume the rest of your speech. Please scratch that off the record and preferably don’t say anything else. You are wrong.”
