And just now you heard how the PM bristled when we suggested that he had been painted however slightly with the same brush as other sin the report. Well, John Bricneo who's also in the report - similarly bristled when we suggested the same to him:...
Jules Vasquez, 7News
"Did she go on and get her passport?"
Hon. John Briceno, Leader of the Opposition - PUP
"I have no idea."
Jules Vasquez, 7News
"Because then if she did, you would have been involved in the approval of a passport just like the Prime Minister which did not meet all the requirements."
Hon. John Briceno, Leader of the Opposition - PUP
"No, no, hold on. There is a big difference Jules. You are stretching this. Let us make this very clear. First of all, if I did not put the stamp, somehow I forgot to put the stamp, then it is then the responsibility of the immigration office to say that you didn't stamp the passport, so you need to take this back to get it stamp. Now the difference with me and the Prime Minister, is that the Prime Minister knew that his brother-in-law has not live a full year."
Jules Vasquez, 7News
"How could he have known that though?"
Hon. John Briceno, Leader of the Opposition - PUP
"Ahhh Jules..."
Jules Vasquez, 7News
"Me and you are friends and I don't know when you go to the States. I'm just saying..."
Hon. John Briceno, Leader of the Opposition - PUP
"You're joking, you can't be serious. You can't be serious Jules Vasquez, to ask such a foolish question, that the Prime Minister would not know that his brother-in-law that is from Sweden and I think lives in London, that he did not know that his brother-in-law was not in Belize for a full year, not come and go - for a full year to be able to get his nationality."
