The receipts we have show that on February 24, 2012 payment was requested on behalf of the company, and some official at the Ministry of Works authorized payment the very same day.

Except the road was never paved.

As we told you, the Ministry of Works District Supervisor Graziano Medina refused to comment to us, and he pointed us in the direction of the CEO in the Ministry of Works on Friday. When we contacted The Ministry of Works in Belmopan, we were told by the CEO's secretary that he was in office, but he had handed off the responsibility to another public officer.

Well, we finally in contacted him today, he told us that he has no knowledge those contracts, and that they didn't fall under his unit at the Ministry of Works. He also said that he had no knowledge that he was supposedly assigned to this matter, and he also apologized that no one else was addressing the issue directly.

And what about Imer Hernandez, the nephew of the Deputy Prime Minister who is in the center of the controversy and allegation? Well, as we told you he promised to avail himself to an interview where he would answer all our questions.

We called him today, and he scheduled the interview for the afternoon. We waited, and when we called to confirm the interview a few minutes before the scheduled time, he cancelled, promising that he would do it at a later day.

But he did tell us that he was never paid anything over $50,000 dollars, which is in relation to a contract he got from the Orange Walk Town Council. According to him, he has proof of all the work he did on that contract.

He told us that he was awarded an additional contract for $300,000 which was later cancelled, and he never received any payment for that.

But in addition to that, there are credible reports that this money was paid out for San Antonio Road, and it was diverted to Clarke Street in Orange Walk. This is the street where the Deputy Prime Minister and his brother reside. We can't confirm or deny the report because no one in authority will allow us to address the issue with them.

And there is one more tidbit about Clarke Street. The documents we have also have the abbreviation SIF on it, which we took to mean the Social Investment Fund. We followed it up with the Director of Public Relations for the Social Investment Fund.

He told us quote,

"I can confirm that the Social Investment Fund did not have any involvement in the San Antonio road project in Orange Walk Town….we are baffled by the fact that the SIF initials appear on the document you forward to me. We find this incomprehensible."

"However," he adds "Imer Hernandez Development Company Ltd was indeed awarded a SIF contract in 2011 to do the third phase of the Trial Farm Village drainage project and the drainage project on Clarke Street in Orange Walk Town."
