Will Ashcroft Finance PUP?
posted (September 28, 2015)
And, so, 7 weeks of torrid campaigning begins tonight - and the greatest game changer in this election season is Michael Ashcroft. Will he fund the PUP? Or will he stand back - and count the 162 million dollars in BTL compensation that Government paid him last week? Right now that's what is called a known unknown - and today the leader of the opposition:..

Jules Vasquez
"Do you expect Mr. Ashcroft to provide campaign financing for the PUP? Will anyone be reaching out to him?"

Hon. Francis Fonseca, Leader of the Opposition
"The question is what did the government get in return for that big cheque? That's the question. That's what you should be asking Dean Barrow. What did he bring back with him for that sweet deal that he gave Mr. Ashcroft? We have had no communication. If I do I will let you know."

Ashcroft had tweeted that he would be in Belize last week - but best information says that he never arrived.
