posted (March 11, 2016)
Today two new PUP Senators were sworn in. Paul Thompson and Valerie Woods took the oath of office - while Eamon Courtney is out of the country. They were welcomed by the leader of government business, Senator Godwin Hulse:..

Hon. Valerie Woods, PUP Senator
"I Valerie Woods, do swear that I will bear the true faith and allegiance to Belize and will uphold the constitution and the law..."

Hon. Paul Thompson, PUP Senator
"And that I will conscientiously, impartially and to the best of my ability discharge my duties as a senator and do right to all manner of people without fear or favor, affection or ill will, so help me God."

Hon. Godwin Hulse, UDP Senator
"We look forward to long fruitful discussions throughout the term of this senate. This house has generally approached the debate from a different angle than the House of Representatives where politics tends to rule the debates in that house. This, the senate, has a different role and a different function. And we try to conduct our business here in that spirit and that atmosphere."
