Police Commissioner Blasts Leader of the Opposition  

Earlier the Commissioner of Police explained why the security apparatus could not include civil society stakeholders in the planning process for the northern border security operations. That was a suggestion that came from the Leader of the Opposition, Moses Shyne Barrow. Today the commissioner blasted Barrow not only for that suggestion, but also for referring to Belize as a narco state.

“He had certainly made several baseless and irresponsible comments even going as far as painting believes as a narco state. I don’t know where he get that from or if he knows what is the definition of a narco state, and also speaking about the issue of the northern operations that we should bring other stakeholders from the NGOs and so forth to the table. We cannot have persons who are not of the security apparatus in such an operation. So again, like I said, he continued to make some very reckless  comments that I think that he needs to be properly advised and maybe sometime he needs to shut his mouth  before spewing nonsense.”
