"The Prime Minister raised the minutes of some meeting that he has minutes of that shows that Mike Espat had been in meetings with Mr. Mason. Mr. Mike is not at the head table, but if this could be addressed one way or the other."
Hon. John Briceno, Leader of the Opposition
"Let me address it right now."
Hon. Mike Espat
"I haven't gotten one dollar from...."
Hon. John Briceno, Leader of the Opposition
"Mr. Mason was meeting with all kinds of people and he said that he wanted to help the Belizean people and as a representative if you find a foreign investor comes into Belize and says I want to meet with you and I want to make investments and I want to help your people, it is your responsibility to go and listen."

"Isn't that the same argument Gaspar Vega used?"
Hon. John Briceno, Leader of the Opposition
"The difference with this one is that Hon. Mike Espat can't give him anything, he is not in government. Gaspar Vega..."
Jules Vasquez, 7News
"Not yet.."
