Will Tracy and Patrick Support Shyne’s Motions in the House?

Friday’s house meeting will be the first since the Briceño administration purchased the controversial piece of land in Belmopan, a few weeks ago, for the construction of the University Hospital.  The sitting of the House of Representatives will also be held at the George Price Center for Peace and Development, while the Assembly Building is being refurbished.  But will the elected members of the opposition turn out to support Shyne Barrow on any of these issues given what has been taking place internally.  Here’s U.D.P. mouthpiece Delroy Cutkelvin.

“As an opposition, one of the main role of the opposition is to keep the government in check and in line, not just to win a general election.  And this case in point that I raised underscores that.  Here is an outrageous deal that the entire nation is revolted by and yoh cyant let we off di hook and we can’t let ourselves off the hook.  We are the constitutional opposition.”

“So this will be the first house meeting since that land was purchased, contentious as the issue is, Shyne Barrow will be there as the Leader of the Opposition.  We don’t know exactly what the seating arrangements for the other dissenting to will be,  God knows if Sista B or Hugo Patt will be there.  So is he then to stand before the “Honorable House” and share his official position without the backing of the other four, considering how small as it is the opposition actually is?”

“Well I have no reason to believe that the representatives will not be there other than one particular member who we know has had her issues with attending house meetings for her reasons which I won’t try to defend at all.  But I have no reason to believe that the honorable Hugo Patt will not be there.  I have no reason to believe that the honorable Patrick Faber and the honorable Tracy Panton will not be there.”
