Eric Sets The Record Straight
posted (March 8, 2017)

The Auditor General's report goes on to explain that according to Ambassador Cherie Nisbet, Alejandro Young, Charge ‘d Affaires of Honduras, brought the original passport which was issued to Won Hong Kim, and the original Nationality certificate. 

The Audit team couldn't ascertain how the Won Hong Kim passport ended up in Taiwan, but in our coverage of the Senate last Week, we erroneously reported that the Audit Team said that Eric Chang was the courier for the passport. 

In his testimony today, Chang took on this station for that error:

Eric Chang - Former Deputy Mayor of Belize City
"I no see my name brought up in the auditor general's report in terms of I da the carrier for Wong Hong Kim passport, I didn't see that here but it repeatedly mentioned in I believe it was Channel 7 News saying I'm the carrier for Mr. Wong Hong Kim passport. Channel 7 alleged me was the carrier, I no see how I can carry the passport that I learned that the passport was issued, I learned that from the report that the passport was issued the 9th of September and I was in the summit and represented at the time. I no see how I can be at two place at the same time, I don't know how they put me as a carrier for the passport to Taiwan or to Mr. Wong Hong Kim. I have no shape or form, I never ever see or hold Mr. Wong Hong Kim passport, I never see the passport, I never see the certificate."

In tomorrow's newscast, we'll show you how he refuted allegations from Immigration Officer Mark Tench who testified in the Senate Hearings that he and Patrick Tillett bought those 8 stolen visas for $5,000 each.
